ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

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

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

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

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

"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 product provides intensive reports."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring features."

"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 product is simple to implement."

"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."

"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."

"The ability to decrypt traffic and the abundance of filters available are both valuable features."

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

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

"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."

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

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

"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."

"The dashboard could include more features."

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

"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."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

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

"The initial setup depends upon the basics. You need to have a clear understanding of the basics."

"Wireshark's UI isn't easy to handle and doesn't have as nice a view as Omnipeek."

"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."

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

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

"The system could be improved upon by adding a better and more powerful data processing engine."

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

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The pricing is moderate."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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."
