ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

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

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

"Alerting is the biggest asset as we can have real-time failure view and predict failures in some cases."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"The setup was easy."

"OpManager technical support is good."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"ManageEngine OpManager has given us the ability to monitor real-time performance, and positions of our virtual machines and host machines, helping us minimize the amount of time it takes to manage them by allowing us to monitor all machines through a single dashboard instead of going to them one by one."

"This is a good product for quick and easy troubleshooting."

"Wireshark is very good for network engineers; it's free software, you can install it very easily, and there are a lot of features."

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

"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."

"Wireshark is a dynamic software that has developed and adapted to the latest technology advancements and network challenges."

"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."

"Wireshark analyzes networks, captures traffic and decrypts information passed through the communication channels into a form that is readable and can thus be used to learn how network protocols work."

"It helped in the sense that it allowed the team to troubleshoot networks faster."

"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."

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"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."

"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."

"Based on the high cost, I'd rate the solution six out of ten. I don't know if I would recommend it."

"The licensing model is confusing."

"The decryption of encrypted packets could be better."

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

"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."

"Maximum buffer size of captured data should be unlimited and should allow ability to archive all old captures (not save option) in real time, it should support a destination location where old captures can be directed for long term storage."

"Wireshark is similar to an OS defense tool, meaning that it runs on an OS such as Ubuntu and Fedora, but I'm unsure if it's compatible with Windows or if it's a straightforward process to run it on Windows. Right now, my team needs to run Wireshark from a dongle to use it, so it's an OS-dependable tool, and that's an area for improvement. I was unable to use Wireshark on Windows, and I couldn't capture it, as I'm unsure how to configure the wireless card into monitoring mode on Windows. The process was straightforward on Linux, but it wasn't the case on Windows OS. It seems Wireshark isn't compatible with all OS. For example, you can analyze the log, and you can analyze it on the Windows server, but you can't do a capture in Windows. Configuring Wireshark for Windows isn't as easy as configuring it for Linux."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The price for ManageEngine OpManager is average."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"As far as cost, it was around six hundred thousand rands ($40,500) for the year, for the renewals. That's the total cost for a four thousand node system including support and maintenance."

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

"It's free."

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

"It is free."

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

"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."

"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."
