[unisog] Replace or Purchase Nessus?

[Han Lievens]

Definitely worth it for me.  We have to use eEye Retina and I simply  
don't trust it.  I need Nessus Direct Feed for double-checking  
important scans.  Nessus has already found 1 Critical vulnerability  
Retina did not find.  It took eEye exactly 40 days to add the signature.
