ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"ManageEngine OpManager has many beneficial features that bring value to enterprises, allowing them to manage from 1,000 to 10,000 devices in one console, with multiple add-ons enhancing its utility, such as Firewall Analyzer, which optimizes rules and displays all rules in the firewall."

"The solution is finely stable."

"The product provides intensive reports."

"Overall, I give the product a rating of ten."

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

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

"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."

"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."

"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 is a stable product. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers."

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

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

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

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

"The GUI is easy to use."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation."

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

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

"There should be an option to get mobile notifications or SMS mirror notifications for critical issues. That way, when we don't have access to email, we can still receive notifications via our phones."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"It needs the ability to follow multiple interfaces for specific traffic from different network zones/virtual networks. It would help to understand how any packet is going through the network."

"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."

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

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

"I would like to see Wireshark improve the ease of application of the command. The command is very powerful, but not easy to apply."

"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."

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

"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."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"ManageEngine OpManager has a three-tier licensing model."

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

"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."

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

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

"It is an open-source solution."

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

"Wireshark is an open-source product, so it's free to use."

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

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

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