ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."

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

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."

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

"In general, this product meets all our requirements, whatever our requirements are."

"Desktop central products feature dashboards that are neat and offer comprehensive information."

"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."

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

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

"Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files without opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."

"I use this free, open-source solution daily for packet analysis, and the packet details pane is particularly valuable."

"It is a stable product. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"The solution is open-source and free to use, and there is a paid tier with more features if a company needs a bit more."

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

"The options that are required to get the details for the packet drops are good."

"The strongest feature of this solution, is the ability it gives us to carry out deep-packet inspections on our network, particularly when a function isn't performing as it should."

"The support of ManageEngine OpManager could improve. We had two issues and the support was not able to solve our issue."

"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 and get confused about which interface is connected to which endpoint."

"This solution is not suitable for enterprise-sized deployments, as it sometimes hangs and needs to be restarted."

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

"However, it lacks strong local support."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."

"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."

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

"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."

"Built-in help system is not robust."

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

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

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"DNS could be improved."

"Wireshark is similar to an OS defense tool, meaning that it runs on an OS such as Ubuntu and Fedora, but I'm unsure if it's compatible with Windows or if it's a straightforward process to run it on Windows. Right now, my team needs to run Wireshark from a dongle to use it, so it's an OS-dependable tool, and that's an area for improvement. 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. The process was straightforward on Linux, but it wasn't the case on Windows OS. It seems Wireshark isn't compatible with all OS. For example, you can analyze the log, and you can analyze it on the Windows server, but you can't do a capture in Windows. Configuring Wireshark for Windows isn't as easy as configuring it for Linux."

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

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

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

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"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 pricing is moderate."

"It's free."

"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."

"Wireshark is free software, so you don't have to pay any licensing fee. Individual people can use it and then donate to Wireshark."

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

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

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

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

"Wireshark is open-source and free of charge."
