ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."

"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."

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

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

"The solution is finely stable."

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

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

"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."

"I use the filters very often, to determine what type of traffic I am looking for. The use of filter allows traffic to be segmented so that a value can be looked at individually apart from the other traffic."

"It has a good syntax to put the commands in and get information out of."

"The GUI is easy to use."

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

"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."

"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."

"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."

"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."

"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."

"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."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

"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."

"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."

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

"Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text."

"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."

"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."

"There is a disadvantage when it comes to sampling intervals. Additionally, I've heard from a colleague that Wireshark might be less effective in the voice domain."

"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."

"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."

"With Wireshark, you cannot download and utilize the packet in automation."

"Whenever we select one of the packets, in terms of the number of bytes, for example, there are three planes, and in the detailed plane, I have to count the number of bytes manually."

"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."

"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."

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The solution is highly affordable"

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

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

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

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

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

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

"It is free."

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

"The tool is free."

"It is an open-source solution."
