ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

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

"It has more functionality than what we use it for, so I think it's overall a good solution."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines, helping us minimize the amount of time it takes to manage them by allowing us to monitor all machines through a single dashboard instead of going to them one by one."

"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."

"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"For example, while debugging through food issues, we can draw the graph of the data captured in the solution and see how the throughput is moving."

"I believe everyone should use this tool if they need to analyze packets."

"Wireshark is the world's most powerful network protocol analyzer tool."

"Wireshark is a pretty good tool if somebody wants to learn packet analysis or just plain, simple debugging of network issues at an L2 or L3 level."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It gives us the ability to pinpoint problems and to communicate network problems with software and hardware vendors."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"However, it lacks strong local support."

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

"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."

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

"It is sometimes difficult to manage the user interface. It can get very complicated."

"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"We would like the product to be developed so that it doesn't rely on internet access for installation."

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

"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."

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."

"Running Wireshark through an admin account for multiple exploits is unsecured."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

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

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

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

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The solution is highly affordable"

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

"It is an open-source solution."

"It's 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."

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

"It is free."

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

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