ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The dashboard is unique and user-friendly."

"Defining thresholds and other alerting criteria is fairly simple and would not require a lot of training. This is very useful if you are managing a large environment."

"The ease of use and comprehensive integration are the most valuable features"

"You can put all of your work on there, they'll send you an email or send you a text. That functionality as a network engineer is the one I like the most. I do like the fact that we can schedule reports. That works too because that's a lot fewer spreadsheets that I have to create."

"The traffic monitoring and the traffic analysis are great."

"The solution is finely stable."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

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

"You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags."

"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."

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

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

"It gives us the ability to pinpoint problems and to communicate network problems with software and hardware vendors."

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

"I like the filtering feature as we can filter data easily. This feature is also available in tcpdump, but it's a simple piece of software. Wireshark is more advanced and has many features. It allows you to filter a lot of things. The output can be filtered easily. The most important feature is colorization. If I say, "Okay, this particular SMB protocol in red, it will show me red." It's easy to identify that protocol or capture data."

"I find Wireshark a very useful tool. Its best feature is that it allows me to deeply understand what's going on at the packet level, as well as any adverse signatures that I can analyze. When I need to create an IPS rule, I need to check the traffic deeply to get more insights about the actual traffic, what's the name of certain flags, etc., and I'm able to do all that through Wireshark. The tool is also user-friendly."

"The dashboard could include more features."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"ManageEngine OpManager can improve by having better updates for critical issues."

"If you have a ton of devices, it might slow down a bit."

"We had some stability issues at the outset that have since been resolved."

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

"For the implementation part, I am facing issues when configuring the business view."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

"With Wireshark, you cannot download and utilize the packet in automation."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"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 product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."

"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."

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

"The system could be improved upon by adding a better and more powerful data processing engine."

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

"The product is not worth the money."

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

"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."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

"The solution is highly affordable"

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

"The pricing is moderate."

"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 is an open-source solution."

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

"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."

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

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

"It's free."

"It is free."
