Retina is full of false positives. Many of the "Security Risks" it
identifies, requires sifting through too much fluff to actually get to the
items that are pertinent. The reporting is far from "Top Notch".

Solarwinds anyone? :)

Personally, I like the Retina Security Analyzer by eEye...

It will do most of what you are looking for and the report
it gives you is top notch. Not to mention that it will make
certain recommendations where it finds security risks.
