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."

"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."

"Nagios Core is stable."

"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."

"Nagios monitors our servers, so we know if anything goes wrong and can solve the problem before it happens."

"Other products are good but from the configuration point of view Nagios is really very lightweight. The price is really good in my opinion. Another important thing is that my Nagios engine still works with Dual core 8GB ram for the last 10 years."

"Dashboard provides monitor of total assets."

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

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

"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 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 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."

"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 alerting mechanism in Nagios Core could be improved."

"Would benefit from aggregations if a particular server goes down."

"The mapping is a little hard."

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

"The dashboard and monitoring features could be improved."

"t was a little hard to get our setup represented in the configuration."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"Most the plugin features are free."

"Nagios Core is free to use."

"It's free."

"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."

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

"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."
