ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The setup was easy."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

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

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."

"ManageEngine OpManager allows us to manage all our organization's firewalls, switches, and critical servers from a single console, requiring only one person to oversee all operations."

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

"The session-level filtering features are valuable."

"Wireshark is a good tool to start with network analyzing and packet capturing."

"You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags."

"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."

"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."

"It has good basic features."

"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."

"It's easy to troubleshoot issues because there's a large online community."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

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

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

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

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"It is reasonably priced."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

"It is free."

"It is an open-source solution."

"It's free."

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

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

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

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