RE: OpenVAS vs Nessus

[Sheldon Malm <Sheldon_Malm () rapid7 com>]

Full disclosure: I work for Rapid7.  I'd recommend looking at the Community (free) version of NeXpose as well.  Content 
updates do not lag behind the commercial version.  The Community Edition is suited to small networks and test 
environments and can be combined with the Open Source (free) or commercial versions of Metasploit.

I hope this helps.
