    Greetings list,
     
    Yesterday some reps from Qualys came with a sales presentation for
    their QualysGuard appliance. I'd like to solicit your comments and
    opinions on that product. In particular, do you think it's $45,000 per
    year better than Nessus? (That's about the cost we'd face based on our
    IP address range.) They claim it costs as much in administration to run
    Nessus. Does Qualys' claim to more vulnerability signatures and
    faster/easier updates hold water?
     
    Any input you can offer is greatly appreciated.
