Re: commercial va

[Mark Gumennik <mgumennik () mitre org>]

Simon,
We have done some comparison testing of several packages last month with
no clear winners or losers. 
I don't know if this is a published material, so no details here, but
you can find comparisons of the sort in network magazines, they do it
often. 
If you can use several products you could cover all the bases. Not to
use Nessus is unethical :-)
Don't forget: you are scanning for KNOWN vulnerabilities, not all of
them, some of them.
