ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."

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

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring alerts. The administrators are immediately notified and can do the required action immediately. This is the feature we value and use the most."

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

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

"The GUI is easy to use."

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

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

"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."

"I like the filtering feature as we can filter data easily. This feature is also available in tcpdump, but it's a simple piece of software. Wireshark is more advanced and has many features. It allows you to filter a lot of things. The output can be filtered easily. The most important feature is colorization. If I say, "Okay, this particular SMB protocol in red, it will show me red." It's easy to identify that protocol or capture data."

"The options that are required to get the details for the packet drops are good."

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

"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."

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

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."

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

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

"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."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."

"We would like the product to be developed so that it doesn't rely on internet access for installation. We would like to see all of the components required to be integrated into the installer."

"You need some basic knowledge to work with Wireshark. Maybe it could be more user-friendly just for new users. Just for the new generation."

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

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

"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."

"DNS could be improved."

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

"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."

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

"The solution is highly affordable"

"The product is not worth the money."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

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

"It's free."

"It is an open-source solution."

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

"The tool is free."

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