Leona has more hard CC than Nautilus (naut doesn't even have an AoE stun).

She is also much more "effortlessly" tanky than Alistar thanks to her Eclipse. Alistar relies on his ult to mitigate damage, Leona almost reaches the same amount of damage reduction as ali's lvl1 ult at level 5. Leona also has a much greater damage potential with her passive than bot naut and Alistar. Her teamfight initiation is on par with Naut (ali is a good initiator but he's not as good as naut) and her teamfight CC is better than Alistars because it's partly AoE and the total stun duration is longer.

Downsides compared to ali/naut are: no sustain and no shield, no harass mechanic (except for the chicken combo), tenacity works on her CC and she doesn't have any utility besides her ult: Allistar can headbutt, naut can drag back, but you technically only have a root and 1.5 sec stun as leona and they both require you to be in melee range, something dangerous when you are a support.
