ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"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."

"OpManager can monitor network utilization, downtime, and services in real time."

"The setup was easy."

"The tool is useful for SNMP monitoring."

"The most valuable feature of ManageEngine OpManager makes it easy to monitor all the network alerts on the application."

"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."

"The features we found most valuable in ManageEngine OpManager are the probe server and reporting because they're pretty good features."

"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 drill-down available for packet analysis is great. It gives a network security engineer insight into what is going on at the packet level and enables better troubleshooting."

"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."

"The GUI is easy to use."

"Wireshark helps us to understand network traffic."

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

"The product is simple to implement."

"The strongest feature of this solution, is the ability it gives us to carry out deep-packet inspections on our network, particularly when a function isn't performing as it should."

"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."

"OpManager is slow but that just might be the server we have it on. I don't think that's the problem but I don't do the server. But it is slow. When you're interacting with it, it could be more nimble and could be faster."

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

"We get a lot of false alerts."

"What I'd like ManageEngine OpManager to improve on is artificial intelligence. In particular, the machine learning feature should be integrated with the sensor flow. Doing this will give leverage, especially when you look at other products such as the Cisco DNA Center. When a switch goes down, I should be able to build on the correlation of other physical devices it's connected to so that I can integrate that with my CA CMDB. The ManageEngine OpManager team needs to draw a long-term roadmap where that feature becomes an integral part of the solution because right now, machine learning in ManageEngine OpManager is a long process. The solution doesn't have MLS search and I want to see ML being developed and applied for CA CMDB to greatly reduce the burden of tying everything. For example, if I have a data center switch that goes down now, I should know what server it's connected to, and when that switch goes down at twenty-four ports, I would get twenty-four alerts for different devices plugged in. I should be able to make a correlation that the major problem lies in the switch and not with the twenty-four elements connected to that switch. That is where machine learning should come into play and the ManageEngine OpManager AI should indicate "This is where the root of your problem is." It could be difficult, but this is a feature that should be improved or added to the solution."

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

"The main area for improvement for ManageEngine OpManager is its performance."

"WMI and SNMP integration with the domain controller should be seamless"

"The integration with various OEM products could be simplified."

"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."

"Wireshark could be improved by adding more monitoring features."

"The only thing that I don't like is sometimes there is an update, and something that I was using is either no longer there or it has changed."

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

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

"The Wireshark search function shows green for a correct search and red for an incorrect search. If there were a way to provide a description about what a search - and the similar ones which are available - can do, while a person is typing it, it would make the product easier to use and simultaneously decrease the learning curve."

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

"The pricing is moderate."

"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 is highly affordable"

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

"In terms of pricing, I would rate it a two out of five. It was expensive."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"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 tool is free."

"We're using the free version of Wireshark."

"It 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."

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

"Wireshark is open source and gives great value and functionality to the network investigation."

"It is an open-source solution."

"Wireshark is open-source and free of charge."
