OT: scanalert question

Is anyone familiar with scanalert? I was interested in any feedback from
developers on the pros and cons of scanalert and becoming supposedly
hackersafe...relatively speaking. A company I'm doing work for was looking
into scanalert, but I'm questionable about it? A waste of money?

Thanks for any feedback.

You can invest your time and money in making things secure from the start
or you can pay someone to find vulnerabilities and then spend even more
money fixing them.

From what I can see from their website they're not doing anything you can't
do yourself with the right tools. Not that I've ever had much faith in
automated valunderability testing, have the site and the source code
audited by a human(tm) who knows what to look for.
