ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"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."

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

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."

"The application monitoring is the solution's most valuable feature."

"I liked Network Configuration Manager. They had some pretty decent features there, and they also had pretty good monitoring and alerts."

"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

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

"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."

"I can save the traffic and analysis when I want to. Also, it's especially helpful to follow the stream (TCP, UDP, etc.)."

"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."

"What's best about Wireshark is that it doesn't require installation. It supports cards and monitoring permissions and is sufficient for appending and capturing activities. You won't need to install other tools to use Wireshark, so this saves you time. You can capture packets at any time from your laptop through Wireshark."

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

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

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

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

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

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

"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"

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

"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."

"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."

"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."

"I have not used Wireshark to an advanced point where I could provide a detailed opinion on improvements needed."

"In the future, it would be nice to see color coding. It is just black and white."

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

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

"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 product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

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

"The pricing is moderate."

"Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager depends on the number of nodes you onboard and whatever pricing is reflected on the ManageEngine portal which offers discounts from ten percent to fifteen percent. It purely depends on the sales volume and the negotiation. In my organization, there are about one thousand two hundred nodes which cost around $29,000 per year. There's no additional support fee or maintenance fee from ManageEngine OpManager. Pricing for the solution is highly competitive and I would rate it five out of five. ManageEngine OpManager is one of the most competitive options out there."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

"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."

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

"The tool is free."

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

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

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

"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."

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

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