ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"The solution is easy to deploy. It's also easy to manage and monitor the environment. Instead of being reactive, it's proactive."

"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."

"The dashboard, versatility and larger horizon are valuable."

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

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

"This is a good general monitoring system that has all the features we require and they constantly update with new capabilities."

"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring 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 has good basic features."

"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."

"Wireshark's best feature is that it's adaptive, which means it's the go-to tool for network-related developers."

"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."

"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."

"It has a good syntax to put the commands in and get information out of."

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

"It's easy to troubleshoot issues because there's a large online community."

"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."

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

"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."

"You cannot resolve 100 percent of the issues yourself. You would need to reach out to the support. It needs to be cheaper."

"I would like to see more capabilities and specific profiles built for the manufacturing sector."

"Some of our customers have been asking that OpManager have a feature to monitor the operating system, however, I tell them that Endpoint Central is doing that. You can buy endpoints and then OpManager, and they integrate between them, and everything is okay."

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

"The dashboard could include more features."

"The product has been using the same GUI for many years."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text."

"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."

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

"You need good network connectivity to download during the setup, otherwise, it might take a while."

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

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

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

"The pricing is moderate."

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

"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."

"The price of ManageEngine OpManager is reasonable. We have an annual license and the cost comes from how many devices are being monitored. There is not anything extra cost for maintenance and support."
