ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"The setup was easy."

"The solution is scalable."

"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."

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

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

"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 product is simple to implement."

"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."

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

"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."

"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."

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

"It has good basic features."

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."

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

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

"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."

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

"We have been facing an issue since last year when a lot of our users started to work from home through their mobiles or computers. We are having trouble reaching these devices. We are now planning to publish our instance to the cloud so that we can reach these devices. Its performance should be improved in terms of the discovery of the devices. I would like to feel confident with the discovery that this solution does. For example, on my dashboard, I would like to be able to view a list of all devices seen on a specific server. At present, it is difficult to find such information. This would be an excellent feature to have."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated."

"Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text."

"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."

"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."

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

"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."

"The average person would probably find Wireshark hard to use. When I first installed it, I was overwhelmed by all the data it was shooting out. It doesn't make sense until you start doing some research and figure out what everything means. It isn't the most user-friendly tool. It just provides so much information."

"I would like better control of bandwidth from the service provider."

"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."

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

"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."

"The product is not worth the money."

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

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

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

"The pricing is moderate."

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

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

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

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

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