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."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps me investigate and extract what the issue is, rather than just observing the Oracle environment."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure."
"The areas where Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve include the dashboarding, which could be made more intuitive, and the drill-down reporting, which can and should be enhanced."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"The pricing is very high."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"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."
"It's expensive."
"The solution is free."
