Hi Ted,

Nessus is a VA tool. It *can* do port scanning with its own engine, but
it's much better if interfaced with nmap (Renaud, please correct me if I'm
wrong please).
On the other hand, nmap alone can't do VA. Both tools are superb, they
complement each other very well, and both are definitely needed in my
(your?) toolbox.
Remember that Nessus can also interact with other tools to enhance its
functionality, from memory I can mention at least Nikto and Hydra.
Cheers,
