Nagios Core vs Tenable SecurityCenter Continuous View [EOL] comparison

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

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

"The notifications are definitely one of the most valuable features of Nagios Core. We know what to look for and what to expect when things are down."

"The most valuable feature depends on the project. It's great if you need to check to ensure a service is running 24/7. I can use the full solution for free, and it's flexible. If I need to add a dashboard, I can integrate it with Nagios. Cloud synchronization is wonderful."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it offers proper alerting capabilities."

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

"We use the product to monitor server applications."

"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."

"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 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."

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

"Cloud monitoring is an area for improvement because there aren't too many plugins available."

"There is room for improvement in the graphics."

"I believe Nagios Core will need to provide an option for big data platforms in the future."

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

"The tool needs to improve the integrations."

"It's not that easy to install the product itself. Also, the UI is a bit hard for regular users to navigate through."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It's free."

"Most the plugin features are free."

"We are using the free version of Nagios Core."

"Nagios Core is free to use."

"We are using the free version."

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

"Lessening the price point would be an improvement."

"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."
