"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The session-level filtering features are valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."

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

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

"Stability regarding upgrades, sometimes impacting database issues."

"The installation of ManageEngine OpManager was difficult mainly due to the business view feature, as many customers in Vietnam want the team to develop more detailed capabilities regarding the business view."

"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."

"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."

"Also, every time I perform a version upgrade, something breaks."

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

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

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

"DNS could be improved."

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

"Can be difficult for non packet heads to understand"

"The Wireshark search function shows green for a correct search and red for an incorrect search. If there were a way to provide a description about what a search - and the similar ones which are available - can do, while a person is typing it, it would make the product easier to use and simultaneously decrease the learning curve."

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