The most valuable features are the monitoring capabilities and how it provides time-to-time alerts, which are very beneficial.

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"I would recommend Oracle Enterprise Manager to others."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"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 best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
 

Cons

"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."
"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"The pricing is very high."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
