ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the network-related reporting."

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

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

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"It is easy to use and deploy."

"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"What's best about Wireshark is that it doesn't require installation. It supports cards and monitoring permissions and is sufficient for appending and capturing activities. You won't need to install other tools to use Wireshark, so this saves you time. You can capture packets at any time from your laptop through Wireshark."

"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."

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

"The strongest feature of this solution, is the ability it gives us to carry out deep-packet inspections on our network, particularly when a function isn't performing as it should."

"The product is simple to implement."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The dashboard could include more features."

"The data provided by the tool is not accurate."

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

"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."

"The solution is a bit difficult to configure. There are quite a number of configurations and plugins that you must handle early in the process."

"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 integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"We would like the product to be developed so that it doesn't rely on internet access for installation. We would like to see all of the components required to be integrated into the installer."

"Sometimes I need to use tcpdump when I need to check the packets on CLI."

"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."

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

"You need some basic knowledge to work with Wireshark. Maybe it could be more user-friendly just for new users. Just for the new generation."

"DNS could be improved."

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

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."

"The solution is highly affordable"

"It is reasonably priced."

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

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The pricing is moderate."

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

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

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

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

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

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

"It is an open-source solution."

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