Nagios Core vs Tenable SecurityCenter Continuous View [EOL] comparison

"Nagios Core integrates with tools like Splunk, Datadog, or Dynatrace. It is usually used as a feed to provide more technical information about devices or hosts to another system."

"I like the way the solution sends alerts and how it keeps on escalating them."

"The reporting structure and the feature set are valuable to me."

"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is the ability to check the availability of the server for network connectivity. Additionally, the interface is good."

"Key features include the GUI interface, its notification capabilities, and the real-time reporting."

"Our customers like that Nagios Core is an open source solution. It can be customized to our customers' specific needs."

"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."

"We mostly use Nagios Core to integrate with Python and Bash Script."

"The first of the valuable features is how easy it is to access all of the information that's gathered from the assessments... With a lot of other technologies, like Rapid7, if you're using Nexpose you effectively have to be a DBA to get some of the lower-level results from the scans. And Qualys wasn't very intuitive."

"The scanning itself is really the core of the tool, and it's what we're most interested in."

"The next big one is supportability. In a large enterprise, we have many types of technologies. The technology we previously had didn't even support authentication to a lot of those technologies."

"Through porting, we can see how the improvement is happening over a period of time. We can see the overall scenario from the last year, where were we were and where we currently stand."

"We can manage everything with only a single console on the Tenable SecurityCenter. We can pull and define the policy. We can perform every task on the Tenable SecurityCenter."

"There is room for improvement in the graphics."

"The mapping is a little hard."

"Nagios Core could improve by adding a user interface. If you want the user interface you have to use Nagios XI."

"The initial setup process could be easier."

"The scalability needs improvement, it's not scalable at this time."

"I would like to see a sensor that shows the traffic of a user and what they're doing on the network."

"It is a bit slow due to latency."

"The core version is no match for the XI version."

"One area which is missing is cloud security because there are a lot of configurations. Rapid7 has a product called a DV cloud. I would like to have a similar kind of solution and feature."

"When it comes to... dynamic application scanning, I think they are lagging behind the curve. They have a lackluster solution, to the point where I think they need to determine, as a company, whether or not that's a space they even want to play in."

"In terms of what could be improved, some customers have a problem with SecurityCenter's ticket system. If I want them to assign one of the issues, they may want to assign someone to it or to assign it somewhere else and I may want to break up the ticket."

"There are certain circumstances where they may have found a vulnerable service and they just removed the service completely from the device because nobody was using it. There's no way to go into SecurityCenter and mark it, to say, "This is no longer an issue. It doesn't exist anymore." Or, "The risk was accepted for one year, so let's not report it as 'high' until that one year period is done." The handling of operational flow around vulnerability management could be improved."

"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."

"The enterprise version has technical support. The version we are using is free."

"The solution is expensive."

"The Nagios Core (PNP4Nagios + Core) is free and can be setup by Netadmin within a few hours. The only additional cost is the cloud server."

"We are using the open-source, unpaid version."

"Nagios Core is free to use."

"It's free."

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."

"Pricing-wise, it's fine. It's not an expensive product. That's not an issue."

"We did a three-year deal where the cost is amortized over the three years. The Elite Support was an additional cost to the standard licensing fees... If you use Security Center, most of the time it is on-premise, so you're going to have some sort of infrastructure to build out and there's going to be a cost associated with that."
