Eric,
As the Tenable scanner is a commercially derived variant of Roland's Nessus
code, I'm a little curious. How did Tenable's commercial scanner fare
against the GPL Nessus in your evaluation? Is the core value that Tenable
offers merely tighter integration with the Windows platform? How does the
server component differ from the nessusd?
I appreciate if you have time for some comments here - I think that this
would be useful information for many of the people on the list.
