ManageEngine OpManager vs Wireshark comparison

"We don't have to keep an eye on it; it has a good automation option, which keeps us informed. It gives very less false positives. Overall, a really great product."

"Monitoring is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The solution is scalable."

"Device monitoring is a good tool of this solution."

"Flexibility in the two view dashboard helps viewers and admins get the information they need about the fetwork in a flash."

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

"We have found the solution to be stable."

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

"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."

"Packet-capture files can be hard to use due to their size. Wireshark has a tool called tshark that can parse the files with out opening them so that you can take large captures, say 2-10GB, and return only relevant information."

"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."

"The product is simple to implement."

"The most valuable feature is the traffic gate, which shows which IPs are getting more bandwidth or traffic."

"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."

"Wireshark is very user-friendly; even someone with basic IT knowledge can use it."

"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."

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

"We would like the solution's customize and build functionality to be more user-friendly."

"This product is little bit slow sometimes. It may be that we need to change the configuration to improve performance."

"Real user and UI monitoring are not practical."

"The initial setup is a bit complicated. It needs a technician who is very aware of the flow and how to officially set up the flow chart, etc."

"They should add more features to URL monitoring."

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

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

"I wish the filters were a little bit more prepopulated."

"The initial setup depends upon the basics. You need to have a clear understanding of the basics."

"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."

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

"You need some basic knowledge to work with Wireshark. Maybe it could be more user-friendly just for new users. Just for the new generation."

"Big trace files (more than 1,000,000 packets) can be slow, but then you can use "TraceWrangler" (also free) to help with slicing and dicing the data."

"It is difficult to scale this solution."

"The product has been using the same GUI for many years."

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

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

"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten."

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"The pricing is moderate."

"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."

"It is reasonably priced."

"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."

"The tool is free."

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

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

"It's free."

"It is an open-source solution."

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