ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

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

"I like being able to push configurations to multiple devices. If you have the same configurations for all the branches, it's easier to use ManageEngine OpManager and push configurations at once rather than individually pushing them to each device."

"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Wireshark's best features are that it lets us see what traffic is in the network and what data should be encrypted."

"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."

"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."

"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."

"It has a good syntax to put the commands in and get information out of."

"The best thing about Wireshark is the community/ecosystem."

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

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

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

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on."

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

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

"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."

"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."

"However, it lacks strong local support."

"I would like to see Wireshark improve the ease of application of the command. The command is very powerful, but not easy to apply."

"The speed of the Internet could be improved, especially its performance."

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

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

"Its user interface was a little less friendly. They can make its user interface a little bit more friendly."

"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."

"DNS could be improved."

"Big trace files (more than 1,000,000 packets) can be slow, but then you can use "TraceWrangler" (also free) to help with slicing and dicing the data."

"It is reasonably priced."

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

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

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

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

"The pricing is moderate."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

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

"It is free."

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