ISS and Nesss are redundant. Most people prefer neXpose or Qualys to
Nessus, and some even prefer Foundscan to Nessus (for reporting,
although I don't know why personally). There were some recent
[pulled] evaluations and neXpose came out way ahead, although like
I've mentioned on other lists, the best-of-breed would be to combine
Rapid7 neXpose with Tenable PVS.

Core Impact is fine, but what about the other 400 exploits packaged
with CANVAS, Gleg/Argeniss, and Metasploit? I haven't even included
the CANVAS sharing alliance or D2 pack statistics, which I don't
really have readily available. Core Impact barely has 200 exploits
all by itself.

Cheers,
Andre
