ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The solution is scalable."

"ManageEngine OpManager has many beneficial features that bring value to enterprises, allowing them to manage from 1,000 to 10,000 devices in one console, with multiple add-ons enhancing its utility, such as Firewall Analyzer, which optimizes rules and displays all rules in the firewall."

"We use the solution to monitor links. It also helps us to track servers and monitor logs."

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

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

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

"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."

"Overall, I give the product a rating of ten."

"If you're dealing with troubleshooting network, voice issues, or network operations, having a tool like Wireshark to dive into packet details is important. The initial setup is straightforward. Anyone starting out or looking to deploy it on your personal PC or machine can do it easily."

"Being able to dissect email data and figure out what is inside email messages was the most valuable feature. Such a feature is pretty helpful for an ongoing forensic investigation or when there is a potential insider threat that you are trying to investigate. It allows you to see the network activity of the users you are investigating. It also gives you more visibility into your network. It was very easy to set up. There is a lot of information out there on Google and YouTube about how to use it. There is also community support. If you have any trouble, it is pretty easy to find an answer online. You will have to do some digging only if you have a very specific use case."

"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."

"The initial setup is simple."

"The best part about Wireshark, in my opinion, is its ability to analyze packet capture files."

"It helps in analyzing if something looks suspicious, such as a brute force attack or scanning from somewhere."

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

"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 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."

"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."

"The solution's reports need to include the number of applications consumed."

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

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

"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

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

"With Wireshark, you cannot download and utilize the packet in automation."

"Its user interface was a little less friendly. They can make its user interface a little bit more friendly. It is for technical people, and most of the technical people would be able to figure it out, but it would be good to improve its user interface. They can maybe build artificial intelligence into it. Currently, it takes a lot of manpower to analyze and dissect all the data."

"In the future, it would be nice to see color coding. It is just black and white."

"The product has been using the same GUI for many years."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners. It could be better. Another room for improvement in the tool is for it to provide more details about the traffic load. At the moment, Wireshark is adequate for me, so there isn't anything I'd like added to it in its next version."

"The solution has a steep learning curve. There are so many filters and features that are frequently being updated, it takes research, experience and familiarity to be able to use them. It could be a lot more user-friendly."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

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

"The product is not worth the money."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The solution's licensing costs are yearly and based on the number of applications."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The tool is free."

"It is free."

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