It's a fear but only on minions.

That said, comparing the skills then yes Voli's E is worse in every way to Naut's... except one, the way which matters for Volibear. Majestic Roar is instant cast.

This means that it is a ganking tool, used to slow and catch people running away from Volibear. While Naut's Riptide doesn't have instant cast in return for higher range, damage, spamability and CC power. The cast time alone means that Nautilus can't use it as a ganking tool (until AFTER he has already caught them with his other CC skills that is), and if Volibear had it then he would suck, he wants to chase people down and flip them but enemies could just run away from the blasts.
