Wireshark vs Zabbix comparison

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

"The transmission and reception issues are valuable."

"The most valuable feature of Wireshark is the ability to choose a destination of flow that has not been working as expected."

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

"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."

"The GUI is easy to use."

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

"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."

"The level of discovery-based configuration that lets us auto-configure the monitoring for various systems is a valuable feature."

"We are able to monitor our virtual infrastructure, virtual machines, windows servers, databases, and the network using a simple network management protocol. We are able to pull almost all the metrics that we want, receive notifications, and have them integrate with telegrams for certain devices that are critical, such as UPSs."

"The calculations part is the most valuable."

"The product is very stable."

"Zabbix is good for discovery."

"The implementation process is very straightforward."

"Zabbix is a cost-effective solution. We're a small organization with a few dozen devices to monitor, and it was available for free. We can see what we need. We haven't done an in-depth analysis on it, but we're currently okay with the product."

"During my testing, the features that I like the most are that it can be integrated with my system, and it provides me with reports of all of my servers."

"Wireshark's UI isn't easy to handle and doesn't have as nice a view as Omnipeek."

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

"DNS could be improved."

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

"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."

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

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

"Wireshark could make the filtering rules easier to apply and offer a drag-and-drop option as opposed to type and text."

"The stability could be better."

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

"The graphical user interface could be customized a little bit more, and also the dashboard could be more friendly."

"The event correlation could be better."

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

"Correlation of events would be a wonderful addition."

"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."

"An area for improvement would be the ease of doing aggregation from the value or different devices."

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

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

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

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

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

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

"It is free."

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

"The product is an open source and free solution."

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

"It is worth every cent to pay or even study to do your own installation."

"I use the tool's free version."

"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."

"We are using the free, open-source version."

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