ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The setup was easy."

"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."

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

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

"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."

"The solution's most valuable features are reporting, event notifications, and alert management."

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

"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."

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

"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 product is simple to implement."

"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."

"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."

"Wireshark saves a lot of time, especially with network troubleshooting."

"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."

"Packet-capture files can be hard to use due to their size. Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files with out opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."

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

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

"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."

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

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

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

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

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

"DNS could be improved."

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

"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."

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

"Big trace files (more than 1,000,000 packets) can be slow, but then you can use "TraceWrangler" (also free) to help with slicing and dicing the data."

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

"The Wireshark search function shows green for a correct search and red for an incorrect search. If there were a way to provide a description about what a search - and the similar ones which are available - can do, while a person is typing it, it would make the product easier to use and simultaneously decrease the learning curve."

"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."

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

"The product is not worth the money."

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

"The solution is highly affordable"

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Wireshark is free software, so you can download it and use it for free with no licensing fees."

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

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

"It is free."

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

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

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