Nagios Core vs Tenable SecurityCenter Continuous View [EOL] comparison

"It is fairly easy to set up, and we can monitor pretty much everything we want to."

"What I like about Nagios Core is that it helps me ensure everything is running smoothly by checking the status of hosts and services."

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

"The solution is quite efficient."

"Provides timely notifications."

"The most valuable feature of Nagios Core is it allows us to develop and add as many plugins as we want."

"Nagios Core is very configurable. Whatever you want, you can do it."

"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

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

"I would like to see more training videos."

"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."

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

"The UI is a little outdated and graphics could be displayed in a better way."

"The mapping is a little hard."

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

"We're using the free version, which limits us in terms of the things that we can do. If we had the paid version, a lot of our issues would probably go away. For example, we can't isolate instances that are being built or updated with the production ones. When they're being built, on Nagios, they're showing in red. It'd be nice to be able to partition those off until they're all green, and then we can bring them into the environment. This is probably because we've got the free version and not the paid version. If we went for the paid version, it would probably allow us to do exactly what we want to or remove the restrictions that we have, but if we are able to isolate instances in the free version, it would make life much easier."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Nagios Core is an open source solution, and there are no licensing fees."

"The product is cheaply priced."

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."

"I would rate the solution's pricing an eight out of ten."

"We are using the free version."

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

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

"It's free."

"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."
