I haven't evaled any of them quite yet but they each seem to have their advantages and disadvantages. Cenzic is claiming to be the most accurate at least according to their 20/20 marketing program http://www.cenzic.com/forms/ec.php?pubid=10076 but I'm wondering what people have actually seen.

Erin gave an excellent response to you.... read carefully. Not too
long ago I did an in-depth evaluation of all 3 products. I had looked
at them in the past and we were finally in a position to make a
purchase decision. Each of the products has strengths and weaknesses.
They all do a pretty good job and from day to day one will be ahead of
the others and then a different one.
Most of the differences show up in the bells and whistles, report
presentation, etc. For me it almost comes down to flavors of ice
cream. I prefer vanilla but you may prefer chocolate. We ultimately
chose WebInspect (SpiDynamics) but it was a close decision all the way
around.
One important caveat is that these are tools and if the person using
the tool doesn't understand how to use the tool properly then their
mileage may vary.
