Nagios Core vs Tenable SecurityCenter Continuous View [EOL] comparison

"I would rate the overall solution ten points out of ten."

"The application performance monitoring feature is valuable."

"It has made the life of the network operations staff more proactive in managing the resources of the infrastructure. It prevents disasters long before they can take place."

"Provides timely notifications."

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

"The solution is quite efficient."

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

"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 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 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."

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

"The interface could be improved."

"It is a bit slow due to latency."

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

"Nagios Core does not have a graphic display."

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

"The initial setup process could be easier."

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

"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 free to use."

"Nagios Core is a cheap solution."

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

"The product is cheaply priced."

"It's free."

"We are using the free version."

"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."
