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 can manage everything in our environment."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"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."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
