ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training, which is very useful if you are managing a large environment."

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."

"OpManager technical support is good."

"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."

"The alerting feature has improved our organization, as we can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."

"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."

"The initial setup is simple."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers, as when the new protocol comes up, it's rapidly applied to the system, so I can just look into the packet."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers."

"The drill-down available for packet analysis is great, as it gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."

"Wireshark is a good tool to start with network analyzing and packet capturing."

"The session-level filtering features are valuable."

"The feature to incorporate Voice over IP (VoIP) incidents into network traffic analysis is valuable. Capturing voice or SIP communication allows for examination of interactions between SIP clients and SIP servers. This helps the team investigate or analyze issues related to call center servers and operators."

"The dashboard has some limitations and should be more user-friendly."

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view. When I create the business view, I experience problems with the port interface."

"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."

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

"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."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"I was unable to use Wireshark on Windows, and I couldn't capture it, as I'm unsure how to configure the wireless card into monitoring mode on Windows."

"We'd like to be able to extract the output into an Excel table."

"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 have not used Wireshark to an advanced point where I could provide a detailed opinion on improvements needed."

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

"Wireshark's UI isn't easy to handle and doesn't have as nice a view as Omnipeek."

"You need good network connectivity to download during the setup, otherwise, it might take a while."

"It is easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of data you are looking at."

"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."

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

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

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

"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."

"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."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"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."

"It is free."

"We are using a freeware version of this solution, so there are no licence costs involved."

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

"We're using the free version of Wireshark."

"The tool is free."

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

"Wireshark is free software, so you can download it and use it for free with no licensing fees."

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