Extensive functionality impresses despite occasional setup complexity
The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable. Now it has become a significantly improved product. We have integrated identity management, and we are using it for normal database examination, tuning, and performance. We are working with STATSPACK and similar tools that are integrated in Oracle Enterprise Manager. We are currently working with version 13.5, having upgraded from 13.4 last year. Automation is useful for improving operational efficiency, and there are many more opportunities to automate outside the databases. Not many things need to be automated inside the databases. We have jobs running, imports, exports, and similar tasks. To automate these processes, we utilize the Scheduler from Oracle, which is managed in the databases by the vendor. This is not part of our DBA functions in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c is a transformational technology that comes with a set of comprehensive features and great practices that help IT transform into a true enterprise Cloud that delivers on business needs."
"In fact, I've already met many people in which I have done just that."
"I think the fact that I can manage all of our infrastructure, all the hardware and software, from one place which makes it very useful."
"I like that it's stable."
"I can see the whole picture and analyze the data; I rely on that a lot."
"Warnings and alerts are sent to the primary DBA. Primary DBAs address the alerts in a timely manner, instead of waiting for it to become an issue."
"The biggest bang for our buck with Enterprise Manger is automated patching."
"If your database scalability is more or if your infrastructure is as big as the product we have, Oracle is the only solution out there."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"We did have some hiccups in working with Oracle."
"The only con is that we may need to install patches provided by Oracle from time to time for its upgrades or bug fixes."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"It's expensive. We are paying on a yearly basis, but we are currently negotiating for a new license."
"Customer Service: 2 out of 5. I often choose to open an SR as a last resort."
"Metrics settings could be improved to be more intuitive. Installation process could be easier."
"OEM needs to be a little bit faster."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's expensive."
"The product is highly-priced."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
