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."

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

"The alerting feature has improved our organization, as we can create multiple alerts and refine them to how we need to use them."

"The initial setup of OpManager is very easy and straightforward."

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

"It has more functionality than what we use it for, so I think it's overall a good solution."

"We monitor customer networks with it and the performance is extremely good."

"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 filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

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

"The session-level filtering features are valuable."

"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."

"Wireshark's best features are that it lets us see what traffic is in the network and what data should be encrypted."

"Being able to dissect email data and figure out what is inside email messages was the most valuable feature."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."

"The support of ManageEngine OpManager could improve. We had two issues and the support was not able to solve our issue."

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

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

"The dashboard could include additional features."

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

"This product needs to improve the UI."

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

"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."

"Not always simple to setup and get the filtering right when capturing data."

"The solution has a steep learning curve. There are so many filters and features that are frequently being updated, it takes research, experience and familiarity to be able to use them."

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

"The average person would probably find Wireshark hard to use. When I first installed it, I was overwhelmed by all the data it was shooting out. It doesn't make sense until you start doing some research and figure out what everything means. It isn't the most user-friendly tool. It just provides so much information."

"We would like the product to be developed so that it doesn't rely on internet access for installation."

"It is reasonably priced."

"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."

"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 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."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"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 product is not worth the money."

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

"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 free of charge."

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

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