<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Does anyone on the list have a good recommendation for a VA software
vendor? I am currently an eEye Retina customer but need to find a better
solution with an actual development team in place to support that
solution. Is Tenable a good choice? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Preview represents the third "pillar" of eEye's business, says Marc
Maiffret, CTO and chief hacking officer for eEye, joining its flagship Retina
Network Scanner and Blink endpoint security software. eEye made a name for
itself after discovering, and naming, the infamous CodeRed worm in 2001. "
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Third pillar? The other two pillars are crumbling so they set up a
third one to prop up what is left. As a Retina customer I am very
dissatisfied to see that eEye just fired the entire team responsible for
Retina including guys like Ryan Permeh. They also cut their QA team
which will make bad products even worse. Their engineering staff is down
to three or four guys and they want to jump in the professional services game?
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What research team are you trying to sell? The only
researcher you have left is this guy - <A
title=http://datarescue.com/idabase/hallofshame.html
href="http://datarescue.com/idabase/hallofshame.html">http://datarescue.com/idabase/hallofshame.html</A> and
of course chief hacking officer who has never discovered a bug. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"eEye made a name for itself after discovering, and naming, the infamous
CodeRed worm in 2001. "</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is now 2007. What have you done lately eEye? I don't think
anyone cares that you "discovered" a 6 year old worm. Your customers
want stability and a future not a scheme (preview) for your VC to grab some
extra cash before they turn out the lights. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So while you are chasing 50K from those who are still impressed by
CodeRed and stolen copies of IDA your core customers, those who you have
abandoned like you did the engineers responsible for those products will take
their money to other more stable vendors that offer some sort of stability.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe is time to throw in the towel. If Retina is the flagship then
that ship has sailed into some rocks and sunk.</DIV>
