If time permits, you should try to get a demo from each vendor. The try-before-you-buy model is what I always recommend. Every now and then I'm pleasantly surprised by some dark horse or completely OSS product.

I have my preferences, but they might not be *your* preferences. Choice is a good thing. ;-) Happy hunting! - Mick On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 12:43 PM, Butturini, Russell <[email protected]> wrote: > Much as I know people will probably hate to hear this, if you can tolerate > their annoying salespeople, Nexpose is definitely worth a look. > > > > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Anderson > Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 11:02 AM > > To: PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List > Subject: [Pauldotcom] vulnerability scanners > > > > So I'm looking to justify the purchase of a vulnerability scanning product > and am looking for some objective opinions. > > I am partial to Nessus, due in part to the fact that I have used it before > and it's price is really attractive. > I am looking at Core as well - trying to figure out which on of their > products lines up best with Nessus proffesional feed (for comparisons). > > Can anyone point me to a decent third party comparison online? > Does anyone have any suggestions for a third contender for my list? > > ****************************************************************************** > This email contains confidential and proprietary information and is not to > be used or disclosed to anyone other than the named recipient of this email, > and is to be used only for the intended purpose of this communication. > ****************************************************************************** > > _______________________________________________ > Pauldotcom mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom > Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com > _______________________________________________ Pauldotcom mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pauldotcom.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pauldotcom Main Web Site: http://pauldotcom.com
