You may also want to take a look at Inprotect.
It is a free web interface for using nessus in a distributed environment.
They also sell an appliance version which incorporates nmap, nessus, and
nikto.
http://inprotect.com/download.htm
Also, for my 2 cents on Qualy's, we tested their product some time ago so we
could speak intelligently about it to our clients and I was very impressed.
Excelent web interface, over 1000 tests, few false positives, reasonable
pricing. Before ISS released v7, I referred to Qualy's as "web managed,
distributed ISS". We chose Qualy's out of 3 competing products as the one
we recommend to our clients. (Inprotect was not around at the time, and I
have not yet reviewed it)

All
Nessus is great as mentioned by Wes, which brings me to this excellent
download tool call Knoppix which has everything you need for VA's,some, Pen
Test utilities and network monitoring. It runs on a bootable CD or HD
install.
Cheers

Eric,
Try nessus, it's open source, has better vulnerability detection than most
tools out there that are commercial, plus I've found that it tends to be
more accurate when it comes to vulnerabilities, though even with a scanner
the process of validation doesn't stop with printing the report. ;-)
However, if you are looking for an all around vulnerability detection
software for web, db etc. You should look at things like appscan, or shadow
security scanner, etc. There are quite a few out there, to each his own is
my stand point, what one person likes someone else hates, but it all
requires validating the findings, typically via manual methods (e.g. testing
an exploit via manual steps or running some public exploit).

Has anyone on this list had a chance to use this product.
I'm interested in getting a Vulnerability scanner that is the defacto of the
Industry.
Any info would be great.
