The more people who use and contribute to the GPL fork of Nessus,
OpenVAS (formerly GNessus), the more useful it will become.

I would also imagine that a little monetary support for the project from
your company, less than you would pay Tenable, might possibly result in
some fairly good support from the folks involved with the project. Talk
it over with them.

I know that most if not all of you use or have used Nessus at some
point. I've been following the thread. Now that it appears that Nessus
is seriously ratcheting down support for independent consultants and
corporate / gov't users without a registered and paid for license what
scanning software are you considering? Has anyone done a *complete*
comparison of all of the scanning software out there and made a choice
based on the findings? If so what was it?
I work for a fairly large company and the contract negotiations with
Tenable are going poorly and the company I work for is looking at the
options.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
