ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"Our customers are seeing a clear return on investment with ManageEngine OpManager, which is why they continue using it and maintain the solution for a long time."

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

"The solution is stable."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager is the management of the virtual machine and the host machine."

"Device backups are smooth and managed centrally, with a nice dashboard, so you can quickly see the status."

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

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

"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 is a pretty good tool if somebody wants to learn packet analysis or just plain, simple debugging of network issues at an L2 or L3 level."

"It is free, easy to use, getting better with every release."

"What's best about Wireshark is that it doesn't require installation, supports cards and monitoring permissions, and is sufficient for appending and capturing activities, so you won't need to install other tools and can capture packets at any time from your laptop through Wireshark."

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

"The initial setup is simple."

"I find Wireshark a very useful tool. Its best feature is that it allows me to deeply understand what's going on at the packet level, as well as any adverse signatures that I can analyze. When I need to create an IPS rule, I need to check the traffic deeply to get more insights about the actual traffic, what's the name of certain flags, etc., and I'm able to do all that through Wireshark. The tool is also user-friendly."

"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."

"The support for this solution needs to be improved significantly, to the point where we will no longer be using some of the available products because we cannot get the required support for them."

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

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

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve by having a better cloud presence."

"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."

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

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

"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."

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically. It could also work faster."

"One con is that this software is only an observer, not an interactive component of the network, meaning you cant change anything with it."

"It needs the ability to follow multiple interfaces for specific traffic from different network zones/virtual networks."

"Wireshark is restricted when any sort of encryption is involved, such as XSL encryption or DLX."

"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."

"This product needs to improve the UI."

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

"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 tool's licensing costs are yearly."

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

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

"The licensing costs depend on the number of devices and accounts that are being monitored by the solution."

"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."

"The product is not worth the money."

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

"It is an open-source solution."

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

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

"The solution is open source so is free."

"It's free."

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

"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."

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