ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"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."

"ManageEngine OpManager positively impacts organizations by allowing users to practically manage their network, so they can understand exactly what's happening and where the problems are coming from, ensuring proactive monitoring."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

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

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

"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."

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

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"Wireshark has a lot of features. It's a powerful tool if you're familiar with it. You can see everything on the network with it."

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

"If you're dealing with troubleshooting network, voice issues, or network operations, having a tool like Wireshark to dive into packet details is important. The initial setup is straightforward. Anyone starting out or looking to deploy it on your personal PC or machine can do it easily."

"The solution is easy to install and use."

"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 session-level filtering features are valuable."

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

"We encounter challenges in monitoring cloud services. I would also appreciate it if there was someone available to walk you through the documentation."

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

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

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."

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

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

"The speed of the Internet could be improved, especially its performance."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

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

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

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

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

"It's free."

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

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

"It is free."

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

"The tool is free."

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