I have gotten great results from Nexpose http://www.rapid7.com and Hailstorm
from the enterprise perspective. From the free side, you can't beat Nessus,
Metasploit and nmap in network/host assessment and Paros Proxy and/or
Burpsuite in web assessments.

Ultimately, it really comes down to the analyst and their experience (no
matter what management might try to say). I recommend reading a lot and
trying out as many tools as you can.

Hi

I would like to get some feedback from those who have had lots of security
experience about the best security vulnerability and penetration testing
products or software out there.

Thanks
