ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The product provides intensive reports."

"The solution is finely stable."

"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."

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

"The setup was easy."

"The solution is scalable."

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

"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."

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

"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."

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

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

"Packet-capture files can be hard to use due to their size. Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files with out opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."

"Wireshark has a lot of features. It's a powerful tool if you're familiar with it. You can see everything on the network with it."

"Wireshark is very user-friendly; even someone with basic IT knowledge can use it."

"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."

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"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."

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

"There are certain things that are not possible to do with Op Manager. It's a solution that still needs time to develop."

"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."

"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."

"Whenever we select one of the packets, in terms of the number of bytes, for example, there are three planes, and in the detailed plane, I have to count the number of bytes manually."

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

"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."

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

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

"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."

"Sometimes I need to use tcpdump when I need to check the packets on CLI."

"DNS could be improved."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

"The solution is highly affordable"

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

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

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

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

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

"It is an open-source solution."

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

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

"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."

"It's free."
