Has a single dashboard, but is expensive
We use this solution to manage our mission environment The single dashboard is a valuable feature.  The technical support needs improvement. The initial setup is straightforward. The solution is expensive. I rate the pricing an eight out of ten.  Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of…

Reporting is good, monitors well and stable product
We manage a client's network. We put all applications/devices into ManageEngine OpManager. This allows us to manage everything from a single interface. It's not just about endpoint devices; it also improves switches and servers. For example, if we have the same switches across our organization, we…

Provides visibility into the network, and the GUI is easy to use
I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated. It would have been easy to hit a drop-down and select a filter. If I only wanted to look at DCP, UDP, or IP, it would be easy to filter it out. Advanced network knowledge is required to get a lot out of the tool. However, it's very easy to install and deploy. It would be nice if there were some handheld Android devices with a Wireshark-specialized application that would allow us to mirror a Cisco port. Then, we can just plug into the port and click the green start button, and it will start ingesting the packet capture. Then, we won’t be using a laptop. The only downside is that we must have a laptop and connect a network cable. Some new laptops don't have network ports, so we have to get another adapter. Having an all-in-one device, like NetAlly or Fluke, and some of their network devices would be cool.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"The product provides intensive reports."
"I am satisfied with ManageEngine OpManager's monitoring 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 most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."
"We find the networking aspect of this solution to be the most valuable."
"The solution gives pretty good network visibility. I am also impressed with it's monitoring."
"The uptime and monitoring are valuable to us because we need to monitor the uptime of our services, the memory, and the CPUs."
"The product is simple to implement."
"The filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is simple."
"I can save the traffic and analysis when I want to. Also, it's especially helpful to follow the stream (TCP, UDP, etc.)."
"The ability to decrypt traffic and the abundance of filters available are both valuable features."
"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."
"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."
"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."
 

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"We would like link monitoring included. At times we need to monitor those specific links closely."
"The pricing could be cheaper. The initial integration does cost a bit."
"The licensing for this solution is not straightforward and should be improved."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is high. They should work to adjust the pricing model to see if they can help reduce costs."
"The licensing model is confusing."
"It would be great if there were some sort of artificial intelligence feature which would help us make improvements in the network once we find an issue, and do it automatically."
"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."
"The product has been using the same GUI for many years."
"It is not an easy program. You will need to study to use it to its full capabilities (follow a course)."
"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."
"With Wireshark, you cannot download and utilize the packet in automation."
"I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"There is a disadvantage when it comes to sampling intervals. Additionally, I've heard from a colleague that Wireshark might be less effective in the voice domain."
"In the future, it would be nice to see color coding. It is just black and white."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."
"The licensing is on a yearly basis and the pricing is on the cheaper side."
"The solution's pricing is very low compared to other products."
"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."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"It is not really expensive; it is nominal licensing."
"The product is not worth the money."
"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."
"It is free."
"We're using the free version of Wireshark."
"The tool is free."
"We are using a freeware version of this solution, so there are no licence costs involved."
"It is free to download and install. It runs on multiple platforms, so how can you go wrong?"
"Wireshark is free software, so you don't have to pay any licensing fee. Individual people can use it and then donate to Wireshark."
"The solution is open source so is free."
"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."
