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

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"It's the most reliable database available on the market."
"We have setup dashboards for the SMT (Senior Management Team) to give them a traffic light system on a very high level – enough for them to know that all systems are up and available"
"The biggest benefit of using Oracle Enterprise Manager is its monitoring capability."
"I really love this tool because I don't need to type the commands, it's very user friendly, I just click and get the reports and get it done."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"We are able to manage larger numbers of databases with less human resources."
"Enterprise Manager comes with a suite of products that includes agents for setup, making it easier to monitor databases as well as servers and SANs."
"The ability to identify performance bottlenecks and make an immediate impact can serve as a significant contribution to Database Administers which saves time and resources."
 

Cons

"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"Good system management is costly."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"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."
"Customer Service: Appalling, raised issues with support and that take ages to respond.Technical Support: Appalling; they take far too long to understand the issue, they just simply appear to read scripts; if our problem is not on the script; then they struggle to think."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"One thing I would like to see is the option of agent less monitoring."
"Middleware (weblogic) has some bugs and crashes occur which should be fixed to make OEM more productive."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"One of the biggest issues, especially for 12c grid control, is the performance; to be able to monitor and find the root cause of performance issues immediately, in real time."
"With regards to masking still, some options could be added like running in simulation mode, creation of audit file option, file summary, file after masking."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The solution is free."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The product is highly-priced."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The pricing is very high."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"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."
