Nagios Core vs Tenable SecurityCenter Continuous View [EOL] comparison

"The solution is quite efficient."

"The most valuable feature is the performance parameters of the system."

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

"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."

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

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

"I like that it's very simple to install, easy to manage and deploy, and easy to use for monitoring."

"Alert calls occur anytime a service goes down or a matrix is difficult and that helps us to quickly restore service and transfer work."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 initial setup process could be easier."

"The interface could be improved."

"The alerting mechanism in Nagios Core could be improved."

"Nagios Core is limited in terms of distributed setups, and there is no central view for remote data centers."

"Nagios Core can improve the graphical interface, it would make things a little easier."

"The NetEase reporting structure needs improvement, especially the availability report, which is weak."

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

"The user interface could be more interactive because it is pretty basic."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It's free."

"Nagios Core is free to use."

"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."

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

"We are using the free version."

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."

"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 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."

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