ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."

"ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines, helping us minimize the amount of time it takes to manage them by allowing us to monitor all machines through a single dashboard instead of going to them one by one."

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

"Customer Service: Excellent. It was on my initial contact that the rep suggested I wait a day to download the product, as more functionality would be added to the free version."

"We had a return on investment almost immediately in that a consistent up-time has been easier to achieve."

"The product itself is very good."

"This solution is very easy because the pricing was not that high and the setup wasn't complicated, and it was very good for our environment."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers, as when the new protocol comes up, it's rapidly applied to the system, so I can just look into the packet."

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

"Wireshark is a network analytic tool which provides such intelligent information in a network."

"The pricing of the solution is high."

"Support is very bad. They should improve support and customer relationship."

"The support for this solution needs to be improved significantly, to the point where we will no longer be using some of the available products because we cannot get the required support for them."

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

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive."

"Also, every time I perform a version upgrade, something breaks."

"However, it lacks strong local support."

"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."

"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's UI isn't easy to handle and doesn't have as nice a view as Omnipeek."

"In the future, it would be nice to see color coding. It is just black and white."

"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."

"I would like better control of bandwidth from the service provider."

"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)."

"I have not used Wireshark to an advanced point where I could provide a detailed opinion on improvements needed."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"It is reasonably priced."

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

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

"The tool is free."

"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."

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

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