ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"Some of the useful features are NetFlow and analytics."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"The product provides intensive reports."

"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."

"Setup is very easy. It's also possible to change source code and compile if you want to change something in the code, because it's free."

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

"Wireshark is a network analytic tool which provides such intelligent information in a network."

"The solution is a good tool for network troubleshooting or management."

"I use the filters very often, to determine what type of traffic I am looking for. The use of filter allows traffic to be segmented so that a value can be looked at individually apart from the other traffic."

"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 filter option provided by Wireshark is its most valuable feature...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"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."

"I would like to see more enhancements made to the product. This would be better because compared to other products, the vendor is very slow at enhancing the solution."

"The storage level monitoring needs improvement. It needs storage level monitoring on the server itself. That feature is lacking right now."

"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 could improve by having a better cloud presence."

"ManageEngine OpManager could improve the default dashboards that are available. We are not able to customize them easily and they do not give us the information we need unless we customize them. You need to have the technical knowledge to be able to do it, the customization should be easier."

"The dashboard could include additional features."

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

"With Wireshark, you cannot download and utilize the packet in automation."

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

"It would be better if they offered a hybrid version like My Cloud Control."

"We'd like to be able to extract the output into an Excel table."

"Wireshark gets stuck when it is a larger file."

"Wireshark does not allow you to make any changes relevant to the network; in other words, you can only observe the network."

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"It's a stand-alone tool. If there is a commercial license for it I am unaware of it."

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

"The tool is free."

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

"Wireshark is free software, so you don't have to pay any licensing fee. Individual people can use it and then donate to Wireshark."

"It is an open-source solution."

"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."

"It's free."
