When you are considering any of these products youre going to have to look at the catalogs that they supply and manage. You need then to map that to your (or your customers) estate. I have not done this analysis for a customer for some time but it has always seemed that there is no one provider offering ALL of the coverage that any customer has needed. Knowing that a supplier was open to adding new products would be very helpful to me.
Then we have the features. Certainly at the bottom end of the price bracket you are seeing plain ol patching while as you move along the line you see a whole bunch of features, some of which are useful and some not. Certainly SolarWinds and Shavlik offer uninstallers out of the box while some others do not and you may place a different value on these than others, while Secunia has the online service which you are looking up to which you would need to justify in the organisation. Theres a place for each of these vendor types.

Ive always heard good things about PMPC, and it does seem like Shavlik and others are really trying to sell more features than I need.
