ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"Rich GUI tool to monitor infrastructure."

"The setup was easy."

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."

"The solution is stable."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

"ManageEngine OpManager positively impacts organizations by allowing users to practically manage their network, so they can understand exactly what's happening and where the problems are coming from, ensuring proactive monitoring."

"The filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Wireshark is incredibly powerful, user-friendly, and a free tool, which is capable of live capture and offline analysis of traffic on any size network."

"I can save the traffic and analysis when I want to. Also, it's especially helpful to follow the stream (TCP, UDP, etc.)."

"I use the filters very often, to determine what type of traffic I am looking for. The use of filter allows traffic to be segmented so that a value can be looked at individually apart from the other traffic."

"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."

"I like the filtering feature as we can filter data easily. This feature is also available in tcpdump, but it's a simple piece of software. Wireshark is more advanced and has many features. It allows you to filter a lot of things. The output can be filtered easily. The most important feature is colorization. If I say, "Okay, this particular SMB protocol in red, it will show me red." It's easy to identify that protocol or capture data."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"Wireshark saves a lot of time, especially with network troubleshooting."

"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues."

"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."

"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes."

"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."

"It is not an easy program. You will need to study to use it to its full capabilities (follow a course)."

"The Wireshark search function shows green for a correct search and red for an incorrect search. If there were a way to provide a description about what a search - and the similar ones which are available - can do, while a person is typing it, it would make the product easier to use and simultaneously decrease the learning curve."

"It’s helpful only if you have the basic knowledge of networking."

"The product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."

"Wireshark is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."

"One con is that this software is only an observer, not an interactive component of the network, meaning you cant change anything with it."

"I would like better control of bandwidth from the service provider."

"The initial cost is low and the add-ons are reasonable."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."

"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

"We had perpetual licenses. The cost was around 36,000 for OPManager, and then you'd have the yearly maintenance fee of 2,000 or 3,000."

"It's free."

"Wireshark is an open-source product, so it's free to use."

"Wireshark is free of charge, and there's no license involved."

"Wireshark is open source and gives great value and functionality to the network investigation."

"It is free to download and install. It runs on multiple platforms, so how can you go wrong?"

"It's a stand-alone tool. If there is a commercial license for it I am unaware of it."

"I am using the free version of this solution."

"I've never personally had to pay for it, making it a highly valuable internet resource that's accessible for use. While they offer some paid versions, our firm has utilized the free version for the past three years."
