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."

"Some of the most valuable features are the accessibility of the solution and the fact that it is simpler than other products. For example, discovering devices in the network is very simple, making it user-friendly."

"The integration with the firewall monitoring, the security monitoring, is great."

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

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

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

"It helps us a lot for monitoring our servers in one console, instead of going to individual servers."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The product is simple to implement."

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

"The GUI is easy to use."

"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."

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

"The two views into the system are very good but could be extended to further customization to fit the need of end users in a variety of roles."

"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."

"Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades."

"The only problem with it is that the setup isn't very intuitive. I know that they just upgraded the product to make it a little bit easier to use, but compared to some of the other platforms, it is not easy to configure it, set it up, and get it running. However, once you have set it up and got it running, it runs great."

"The installation of ManageEngine OpManager was difficult mainly due to the business view feature, as many customers in Vietnam want the team to develop more detailed capabilities regarding the business view."

"With regard to configurations, however, it would be nice to have more documentation on SNMP configurations. For example, if I want to add a new vendor, it would be great if ManageEngine provided the requirements for that vendor, such as the commands needed."

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

"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."

"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners. It could be better. Another room for improvement in the tool is for it to provide more details about the traffic load. At the moment, Wireshark is adequate for me, so there isn't anything I'd like added to it in its next version."

"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."

"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. It could be a lot more user-friendly."

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

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

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

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

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

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

"The solution is highly affordable"

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

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

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

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

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

"Wireshark is free of charge, and there's no license involved."
