We have been using SortSite.

http://www.powermapper.com/products/sortsite/

It takes a different approach as it's a locally run application and
doesn't lend itself as well to monitoring an entire enterprise at
once. It is more designed for a decentralized approach to Web
development. We have enough licenses for it that we allow any Web
developer on campus to use it. One of it's strengths is it can easily
scan password protected sites.
