RE: Why eEye Retina (was MBSA scanner)

["Lovrien, Scott" <Scott.Lovrien () GTECH COM>]

There are numerous products out that use the Nessus Scanning platform to
also include ReddShell Corporation's SecureScan to name one.  Go to
www.reddshell.com to check them out.  They beat the pants off anyone else in
regards to pricing and support.

Agreed..
Nothing beats the accuracy and speed of Nessus.
If you know how to customize .nasls it is even better.
If you need a commercial version for your 
enviroment, consider TenableSecurity's offering:

> Thanks in advance for the help.
