Re: QualysGuard - VA/PT appliance

We have been happy customers of Edgeos (http://www.edgeos.com) for
several years.  They have scan technology that allows you to set up your
own internal scanners (on your own hardware) or external scanners by
just popping a CD into the CD drive and rebooting.  They also do
automated external assessments and have a very nice reporting engine.  I
can set up accounts for all my security analysts to do their own work. 
They have a very reasonable monthly fee.  Cost/benefit wise, they were a
much better solution IMHO.
