I believe it would be nice to have a list (in the nessus.org) of comparison charts (even if Nessus is not found out as the best VA in it). Sample comparison analysis is done at:

-NetworkWorldFusion: http://www.nwfusion.com/reviews/2002/0204bgtoc.html. Which probably used an old version of Nessus (funny thing, they don't say which)

- Network Computing: (http://www.networkcomputing.com/1201/1201f1b2.html)

Is anyone aware of other places where Nessus is compared against other VA tools? I've found that the NSS group does not include major VA tools (including Nessus) in their most recent report (available at http://www.nss.co.uk/va/edition3/index.htm).

Renaud, do you think it would be interesting to contact them and submit Nessus for review there too?

Don't take me wrong, I don't think these reviews are fair, but they _are_ used by people to take decisions on which VA tool to use at any given moment. And, at the same time, are pushed by vendors in order to try and demonstrated that their tools is better that the rest. Effort in this area (PR) would give people a real view of what Nessus is and how they can use it :-)
