Windows IT Pro magazine readers described eEye's Retina as a "high quality product" that "finds every hole in the network." Retina also achieved the highest score, 4.5 out of 5, in the magazine's October review of vulnerability scanners. Reviewer Jeff Fellinge stated, "For a pure vulnerability scanner, my top pick is Retina, with its solid, focused approach. The product's well-designed, efficient UI makes it easy to get down to business and begin scanning for vulnerabilities immediately; its powerful scanning engine and comprehensive database get results."
Retina Network Security Scanner
In addition to its award-winning scanning accuracy, scalability, non-disruptive scanning, and comprehensive reporting capabilities, Retina offers multiple unique features that set it apart from other software and managed service scanner offerings. Unlimited asset discovery, open architecture, and superior OS detection provide an unparalleled level of performance while significantly improving the overall productivity and speed of an enterprise's vulnerability management function.
Retina leverages the expertise of eEye Digital Security's research team, incorporating the most up-to-date vulnerabilities database that is automatically downloaded at the beginning of each Retina session. This enables security professionals to proactively secure their networks against the most critical and relevant vulnerabilities. In addition to scanning against the most comprehensive database of known vulnerabilities, customers can write their own customized audits. These audits can be used to enforce internal security policies to verify such items as anti-virus deployments, approved machine configurations and application version control. Many enterprises also use eEye's Retina Network Security Scanner in conjunction with eEye's REM Security Management Console as a part of the Retina Enterprise Suite.
Retina Enterprise Suite
The Retina Enterprise Suite leverages the integration of eEye's flagship product, Retina Network Security Scanner, REM Security Management Console, eEye's workflow-driven events management console, and Retina Remediation Manager, an innovative solution that provides enterprise patch and configuration automation.
