I may have been mistaken as to the total dollar amount and type of deal that
was struck between SPI and Watchfire. I was just informed by an associate
that it was more of a cross-licensing deal. Also, I just found the attached
review which could impact our decision to renew with Watchfire.
Here is the link if the attachment doesn't come across.

Subject: Re: Spi's products worth a try? Or any suggestions for developers'
tool?
I have used SPI Web inspect and it is a pretty good tool. It is not
a run and forget tool but it is valuable in a web assessment. Mostly
it is a time saver as it does many tests automatically so you do not
have to write scripts for the repetitive tasks. One thing that rocks
is the SPI toolkit option for Web Inspect as it is a framework for
manual testing that is pretty comprehensive. However the licensing
scheme for Web Inspect is very restrictive and expensive for a tool
of this nature IMHO. For example the cheaper licenses restrict you
to a single IP but the site wide license is very pricey. Also if
your site utilizes Javascript heavily, SPI will have a tougher time
crawling your site and analyzing it. If a site has Javascript you
would manually crawl the site first then analyze the pages crawled.
