Nessus vs MBSA Marlon 07-27-2005

My environment has 200 servers, in which 95% are MS Win2000/2003 OS's. We
have few Unix boxes and clients are primarily WinXP.

Do you think it makes more sense using Nessus or MBSA to scan our network
for vulnerability detection ? I have experience no experience with Nessus,
but if the goal is getting the Windows servers scanned, it seems to me that
MBSA is a better approach. Please advise.

I use both, I like Nessus and use it weekly. It has so many plugins to scan
your systems against (not just windows). I use the nessus on Linux and
NessusWX as the client as I find the reporting better.

Thanks
