OracLe Enterpise Manager allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues and to get a real time view of the Oracle database internals
The database performance monitoring features are very useful and allow us to quickly zero in on DB-related issues.Exadata storage server and Infiniband switches can be viewed from the GUi in OEM which cannot be done in other tools . The ability to deploy metric extensions makes this tool extensible for our custom monitoring also.

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 has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"I like that it's stable."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"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."
"It is the best database management system."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The product must improve its support team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The pricing is very high."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
