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. I am surprised that FoundStone has not come up in the recommendations so far.

It works very well and is the best commercial scanner we've used. We also use Core Impact for real exploits, which is a great tool IMHO. Pete At 15:58 19/04/2004 -0500, Steve Goldsby \(ICS\) wrote:

scanning,
but for a commercial product that seems to gain favor with enterprise clients, eEye is the way to go.
