The only area we found lacking with Retina was its ability to detect the vulnerabilities we laid out for it. Unfortunately, that hurt its score considerably. On the bright side, eEye's enterprise version of Retina is a fully distributed model that uses Microsoft SQL for data storage and a management and aggregation server to control remote scanners. What's more, eEye has incorporated multiuser authentication, much better reporting than its nonenterprise version (though exportability is still a bit lacking), and a comprehensive ticketing system, similar to that used by Foundstone.
