Vulnerability Assessment Tool

I need to acquire and configure a tool that does the automated vulnerability tests against our different application websites?  McAfee has both a SaaS and licensed version of a tool for this. I tried them but had some difficulty getting them working.  
 Note the vulnerability test is different than penetration tests. They require that once per year.  
Can anyone recommend a tool?

it's OpenVAS now.  It forked a couple years ago
nessus is the production one.
I heard a free port scanner tool from the Symantec website that would point out the vulnerabilities from a computer/server.  Anyone used that?

I'll try a Burpsuite and see how it works.  So with Pro is it easier to use then the free edition?

Got.  How is the support for Burp? Are they able to help with the first time user?
