ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."

"ManageEngine OpManager is user-friendly and easy to use. Additionally, useful for basic monitoring."

"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 useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

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

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

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

"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to reach most of our network devices and get the most from them."

"The feature to incorporate Voice over IP (VoIP) incidents into network traffic analysis is valuable. Capturing voice or SIP communication allows for examination of interactions between SIP clients and SIP servers. This helps the team investigate or analyze issues related to call center servers and operators."

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

"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."

"It has good basic features."

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

"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 drill-down available for packet analysis is great. It gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."

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

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

"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."

"Needs an OVA, or more support for virtual deployments. Building a virtual instance of OpManager and OpManager Probe was a bit difficult because there was no OVA available."

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

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The product is not worth the money."

"ManageEngine OpManager is cheaper than SolarWinds."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"It is free."
