We just finished a long comparative evaluation of Eeye, Foundstone, Tenable, Nessus and ISS. After much consideration we concluded that Foundstone fit our needs best, while still using Nessus for bulk scans. We used to use ISS but switched because the product has not kept up with others. Nessus is still a great scanner, and you cannot beat the price.
Eric, As the Tenable scanner is a commercially derived variant of Roland's Nessus code, I'm a little curious. How did Tenable's commercial scanner fare against the GPL Nessus in your evaluation? Is the core value that Tenable offers merely tighter integration with the Windows platform? How does the server component differ from the nessusd? I appreciate if you have time for some comments here - I think that this would be useful information for many of the people on the list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ethical Hacking at the InfoSec Institute.
