Subject: Nessus / TSS alternatives

Hi all, I'm trying to aggregate a list of alternatives to Nessus / TSS
and get a feel on price/feature comparison.  In this case I'm looking
mostly for other commercial options... initially I've found the
following:

  * SAINT vulnerability scanner and SAINTmanager
  * nCircle IP360
  * eEye Retina

I believe Symantec has a product, but haven't yet been able to drill
down through all their various security options as to what would
provide the same functionality.

Anyone else have any they know of off the tops of their heads?  Also,
I'd welcome any comments on pluses/minuses on any of the above when
compared against Nessus/TSS.

We already use Nessus here and there's a good level of comfort and
confidence with it... however I need to at least take a look at other
options before investing in TSS.

Thanks much,
Ray
