Wireshark vs Zabbix comparison

"The product is simple to implement."

"It has good basic features."

"You can use Wireshark to see the traffic packet format, the IP layers, the fields, and the enabled flags."

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

"The ability to decrypt traffic and the abundance of filters available are both valuable features."

"Wireshark's best features are that it lets us see what traffic is in the network and what data should be encrypted."

"It's easy to troubleshoot issues because there's a large online community."

"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."

"The most valuable function for me is the auto-discovery of interfaces in devices. When you integrate devices into the tool, it automatically finds the interfaces, which is very helpful for my job. Integration and configuration run smoothly in my experience with Juniper and Aruba devices."

"Zabbix is good for discovery."

"Zabbix is both stable and scalable."

"The most valuable feature is that it provides network segregation for server monitoring."

"The initial setup, while not simple, is easier than other products."

"Setup was straightforward. Initial deployment took two or three months."

"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of virtual machines."

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

"The product is great but I wish there were more of an emphasis on the command line tools."

"Wireshark could be improved with a delay option when getting data automatically."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

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

"It is not an easy program. You will need to study to use it to its full capabilities (follow a course)."

"The system could be improved upon by adding a better and more powerful data processing engine."

"Sometimes I need to use tcpdump when I need to check the packets on CLI."

"My company wanted to do an exercise command to access IT from Cameroon. They wanted to access an FSS to a second host with second equipment that was on another coast but it is not possible on Zabbix to do it. They want to directly access from the front-end of Zabbix to access a prompt in Zabbix to an access terminal. In the front-end, there is no way to do that. That would be an important improvement."

"There's a small module of APM, however, it is not an enhanced version. People usually ask for a full-fledged APM solution."

"We had some scalability issues with a large number of nodes."

"In the next release, I'm hoping for features targeted towards larger users with more customizable options. Despite this, I think pre-canned reports that can be used straight out of the box would be beneficial rather than having to configure each report individually. Additionally, a deeper dive into software configurations on the machines would be useful, although I understand there may be challenges in implementing this due to scripting requirements. More documentation would also be appreciated."

"The reporting features need improvement, especially detailed inventory reporting. Since it's freeware, reporting may not be a major focus."

"The documentation gets a bit messy between versions and is not too detailed, which is a bit painful for first-timers, especially when they run into issues."

"The only improvement I would suggest, revolves around its AI and ML capabilities."

"The event correlation could be better."

"It is an open-source solution."

"The tool is free."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

"We are using a freeware version of this solution, so there are no licence costs involved."

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

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

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

"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 is freeware. We still use the free version of Zabbix."

"It's an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"My manager is very happy because it doesn't cost anything."

"It is free, which allows us to reduce costs."

"Zabbix is open-source so if one wishes to implement it in-house, they must have qualified professionals to set up and optimize databases, Linux/Unix OS, PHP, Apache, and depending on what is monitored, a full-stack network and systems administrator may be needed."

"This is an open-source solution that can be used free of charge."

"It's free software released under the GNU/GPL license."

"I use the tool's free version."
