Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Performance issues have been identified and monitored effectively during peak hours
The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure. Oracle Enterprise Manager's handling of Grid Infrastructure needs some improvement. I want to see additional features in the future that deal with security in relation to Oracle Grid Infrastructure. I want to improve these two components.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"In my opinion, without Enterprise Manager no DBA can do their job."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"My company choose to use this product because I can see that it's going to be more aligned with the technology, with the cloud."
"From my point of view, I've found OEM to be one of the easier products to deal with; it's the product that I use day in daily to view all of my databases, and the fact that I can actually integrate multiple databases and multiple middleware solutions into one single point is perfect for me, so I'm really happy with it."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"Initial installation of 12c OEM is convenient and straightforward."
"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."
 

Cons

"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"Good system management is costly."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to have more details and privileges. I would say more grantable and obtainable privileges are needed."
"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."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"I don’t think the response system is that good. It is too slow."
"Performance tuning tools need improvement."
"I would probably like to see more plug-ins to manage even more heterogeneous types of resources."
"We use it mostly for the connection to the databases. It could be the version I'm on, but we seem a little limited on what we can do for monitoring for the middleware."
"Sometimes the solution can be quite difficult in terms of when you want to deploy agents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"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."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
"The product is highly-priced."
