Wireshark vs Zabbix comparison

"It helps in analyzing if something looks suspicious, such as a brute force attack or scanning from somewhere."

"I have found the most valuable feature you can design your sniffer the way you want to."

"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."

"It has a good syntax to put the commands in and get information out of."

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

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

"The feature to incorporate Voice over IP (VoIP) incidents into network traffic analysis is valuable. Capturing voice or SIP communication allows for examination of interactions between SIP clients and SIP servers. This helps the team investigate or analyze issues related to call center servers and operators."

"Wireshark saves a lot of time, especially with network troubleshooting."

"The features I found most valuable are the user interface and a wide range of network devices that are easy to configure."

"It has improved our server performance monitoring overall. We know right away when there are problems. It has built-in statistics, so we can go back and see if there's spiking. We can check what's happening every day around the same time and check the configuration to see if there's something that's running and needs to be fixed."

"Health and communication links availability."

"Zabbix has high scalability. I would rate it a nine out of ten."

"We use it to monitor and manage our servers."

"We value the auto-host discovery, template import, bulk import/export features. Newer versions also add nice features, such as multi-IP per host."

"Zabbix is good for discovery."

"Like other common Linux distributions, some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ease of use and deployment. It's simple and has a lot of packages and a lot of software."

"A room for improvement in Wireshark is its ease of use for beginners. It could be better. Another room for improvement in the tool is for it to provide more details about the traffic load. At the moment, Wireshark is adequate for me, so there isn't anything I'd like added to it in its next version."

"I have not used Wireshark to an advanced point where I could provide a detailed opinion on improvements needed."

"It needs the ability to follow multiple interfaces for specific traffic from different network zones/virtual networks. It would help to understand how any packet is going through the network."

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

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

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

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

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."

"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."

"If you want to use all of the features then you have to pay a licensing fee."

"Improvement is needed as per customer requirements."

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

"The GUI could be more intuitive. Also, we'd like streaming telemetry. Zabbix might have this feature, but I haven't seen it yet. It took us a long time to get started because the documentation isn't very descriptive. We had to go through various sources like YouTube and forums to get this solution working."

"The initial setup could be complex if you don't have templates. If creating templates from scratch, it's quite difficult, but if you are using already pre-created templates and setups for your needs, it looks very good."

"There is a bit of a learning curve during installation."

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

"The tool is free."

"It is an open-source solution."

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

"It is free."

"The solution is open source so is free."

"It is free to download and install. It runs on multiple platforms, so how can you go wrong?"

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

"I was using the free, Community Edition."

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

"It is a true open-source solution, so there are no licensing costs."

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

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."

"For pricing, it's free. We don't pay anything for it. They open-source the code, and people pay for support."

"There are no licenses."
