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 product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"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."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"You can get a healthful overview of all your targets in one snapshot in Enterprise Manager."
"In my experience it seems the best tool for monitoring Oracle products, ranging from software to hardware like the engineered systems (e.g. Exadata)."
"One can think of Database Consolidation Workbench OEM 13c as the “Holy Grail” of Database Consolidation."
"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."
"It is one of the best, state-of-the-art products from Oracle; truly a single pane of glass to manage IT infrastructure."
"I think the fact that I can manage all of our infrastructure, all the hardware and software, from one place which makes it very useful."
"Query tuning, historical graphs, real time statistics on query usage, easy to find blocking or locking queries, easy to kill queries, easy to add new datafiles to tablespaces about to run out of space, easy to explore table structure."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a single pane of control that gives you the visibility to see all Oracle products, plus the non-Oracle products; hardware, software, middleware."
 

Cons

"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."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"Good system management is costly."
"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."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Services are pretty inconsistent. Too much usage will make it go down, and we will have to step in to bring it back up."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure."
"The issues we've had with Enterprise Manager go hand-in-hand with our issues with SOA Suite. There are performance issues that we see tied to SOA Suite and the B2B functioning, all of which impacts Enterprise Manager."
"The only con is that we may need to install patches provided by Oracle from time to time for its upgrades or bug fixes."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
