ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."

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

"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."

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

"It is easy to use and deploy."

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

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

"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."

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

"It helps in analyzing if something looks suspicious, such as a brute force attack or scanning from somewhere."

"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."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."

"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

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

"There needs to be improvements to make the solution capable of supporting more devices, and it would be good to see an option for automatic deployment."

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

"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."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 has been using the same GUI for many years."

"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"We have a standard license for ManageEngine OpManager. We purchased the license for one year and now we are upgrading it soon."

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"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."

"It is reasonably priced."

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

"The pricing is moderate."

"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."

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

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

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

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

"Wireshark is free software, so you don't have to pay any licensing fee. Individual people can use it and then donate to Wireshark."
