Five business intelligence applications that can help agency managers track changes and make better decisions about their programs.
REM Security Management Console
eEye Digital Security has a strong product in its REM Management Console. Just as its name suggests, REM is a console that lets network admins see the status of their enterprise and address any issues that may arise.
Hercules Vulnerability Management 4.0
We found the Hercules Enterprise Vulnerability Management Suite to be one of the best programs on the market, particularly for large enterprise deployments.
Tools for tighter networks
Impressive software from Citadel, eEye makes it easier for agencies to manage their network vulnerabilities.
BlackBerry 7130c
The 7130c has a lot of features that it shares with the more expensive 8700g. Unfortunately it doesn't share all of them.
Motorola Q
Motorola is close to having a great smart phone in its arsenal, and we suspect the next generation of the Q will be among the best available.

Treo 700P
The Treo 700P sits atop our roundup of smart phones alongside the BlackBerry 8700g.
BlackBerry 8700g

Talk to the hand
Latest batch of PDA phones shows that handhelds could be the future of computing.

BigFix Security Configuration Management
Like Altiris SecurityExpressions, Security Configuration Management by BigFix is simple to install and use.
ProRapid7 NeXpose 4.1
One problem with older versions of Rapid7 NeXpose was that it took a long time to scan networks, particularly when it came to its antivirus services.
Altiris SecurityExpressions 3.4
One problem with many vulnerability management programs is that they overcomplicate their software interface and the steps required to find or fix problems.
