on a slightly different note,Umm... let me give it a shot (for those I know of):
I believe it would be of major interest, especially for the audience of this list, to sort out one of Nessus's contenders to find out an ideal companion.
- ISS Internet SCanner: has good reporting tools and is slightly more Windows oriented
- eEye's Retina: shares the same portscanning tool (nmap) as Nessus and some of the same functionalities (test ports for services even if running on non-standard ports)
- NAI's Cybercop: quite more Windows oriented, it's no longer going to be supported by NAI (no more updates)
I would go for Internet Scanner as a companion for Nessus, it might not be "best of breed" but complements Nessus in some of the features it might lack currently.
