Optimized cloud costs and automated right‑sizing have reduced spend while reporting needs improvement
The best features Densify offers are actionable optimization recommendations, which tell you how to reduce costs while maintaining performance; the ML-powered predictive analytics feature, which considers historical patterns to provide recommendations; multi-cloud coverage for optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP; and a solid balance between performance and cost. Out of those features, I find myself relying on actionable optimization recommendations and predictive analytics features the most because Densify goes one step beyond by providing recommendations considering historical patterns, especially for workloads that only spike during certain times of the month. Densify has positively impacted my organization by providing significant cost savings through right-sizing and eliminating inefficient resources, allowing faster decisions based on data, and reducing manual intervention for cloud operations, thus providing automation of basic cloud routines. I usually see a twenty-five to thirty percent cost saving in my customer's environment, and from a time-saving perspective, it has almost halved the time of the operations team.

Extensive tool features support database monitoring, but support and pricing present challenges
I don't fully understand what improvements could be made in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Using the reports from Densify will provide us with the trusted advisor backing for our own purchase and provisioning decisions."
"Densify were deemed to be the best for us at the time and they still are, for now."
"The Control Console provides a very easy to read dashboard of "too little/just right/too much" resources both for current data and on a historical or predictive basis."
"The Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment."
"The solution's tech support is excellent."
"From my perspective, this product is really good, and we are not even using each and every feature."
"This product has provided us with a more comprehensive solution that is now replacing nearly all other tools which were previously used in the different platforms and environments within the account."
"Our team members are now spending more productive time on other priorities and are handling much more effective tasks."
"In summary, I would highly recommend this solution."
"The solution provides very useful insights for application and database performance tuning, and we were able to do away with guess work in determining where the bottlenecks were in application performance."
"Compared to other monitoring products, the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications."
"The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."
"OEM is invaluable in many ways, other products can replace bits of it - but the product should be used as a single point from which to view as much of your enterprise as possible."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EM CC) is the best product for monitoring many of the Oracle databases and other Oracle applications such as Siebel, E-Business Suite, WebLogic."
"If you have a considerable number of Oracle Databases and they are very critical, I suggest you use this product, as it eases administration, mainly regarding performance management and troubleshooting."
"The real-time threat detection has been the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"There are times when results are very slow when we search for servers."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level."
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries."
"Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine."
"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"Service management level integration is probably the biggest area for improvement."
"While entering the database, there is some delay in viewing the data on the page called SQL monitoring, which reviews live statistics about the current and live queries on the database."
"I've had both positive and negative experiences with support. Its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less."
"The product lacks in the area of database, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There is a lot of information required to deal with the vulnerabilities in the product on a timely basis, for which the documentation part is not available."
"The interface for Data Guard could use some work."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"We did encounter some stability issues but many of them were fixed."
"The installation steps are very complex and the documentation for them is very generic and does not make very clear the correct steps from the installation to the addition of the host and database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
"Densify has licensing setup so you can collect data without licensing. It gives you the ability to collect on everything, then choose later what you would like to license."
"There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
"Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"We are using the free version. We are not using any licensed packages of Enterprise Manager, so I’m not quite sure how much each package is. As I understand it, there are different plug-ins that you need to buy for Enterprise Manager."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
