Our process efficiency has improved by having all the information in one place, which has reduced manpower
The product is great. We integrated the ticketing tool with the monitoring tool. The agent ID creation is very easy when using this tool. It is so user-friendly. The user interface is good and also the pricing is great. The user interface is good, even a business user or layman can raise a ticket. They provide an all-in-one monitoring tool. If an issue happens, it gets integrated with the email, then proactively that ticket is being raised, which is good. The reporting is good. It is very clear. It is a customized report; however you want it, you can customize it. We use the solution’s role-based dashboards. The head of IT wants to use it so he can see holistically what is happening, e.g., what are the tickets being raised, what is a major issue, and what escalations are happening. There are different dashboards that are customized. For our head of IT, we made a separate dashboard. Then, for the executives, we made a separate dashboard based on time, like hourly or daily. All these reports were customized. While they didn't provide a BI dashboard, they provide a kind of graphical dashboard for whatever the issue is. Once you click on a particular ticket, it drills down to the issue, what it is and when the issue was raised. The drill down is good. It is more like a business intelligence (BI) tool. You can just scroll and zoom in. It goes deep into the issue. Once you click a particular dashboard, it will take you to the next page, then it takes you to the issue. Infraon IMS provides workflow automation for real-world use cases. This makes our work easier. It is just drag and drop (no coding) to build the workflows. For example, a particular ticket is being raised. It gets routed to three important IT executives within our team. From our team, it gets routed to the next level. The learning curve is good. Initially, there were no issues. As soon as the users saw the product, they understood what the product was. There wasn't any kind of training required for this product because it is very straightforward.

The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable. Now it has become a significantly improved product. We have integrated identity management, and we are using it for normal database examination, tuning, and performance. We are working with STATSPACK and similar tools that are integrated in Oracle Enterprise Manager. We are currently working with version 13.5, having upgraded from 13.4 last year. Automation is useful for improving operational efficiency, and there are many more opportunities to automate outside the databases. Not many things need to be automated inside the databases. We have jobs running, imports, exports, and similar tasks. To automate these processes, we utilize the Scheduler from Oracle, which is managed in the databases by the vendor. This is not part of our DBA functions in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable product; after the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much, and all systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."
"With Infraon, everything is already built-in so you are able to plug-and-play with the system."
"Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support."
"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."
"We have definitely seen ROI since we first implemented Infraon, three years ago, as it has given us clarity and helped us with compliance during audits."
"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."
"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."
"Once we installed this central system, our site engineers who provide the data started believing in the data's accuracy."
"The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible."
"I would recommend that you try OEM, it can monitor many different products and it has been well designed."
"It provides a graphical interface and easy management."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"In my opinion, without Enterprise Manager no DBA can do their job."
 

Cons

"Technical support could use some improvement in terms of their response times and diagnostic accuracy."
"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."
"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."
"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."
"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."
"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."
"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets."
"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."
"For databases and servers with high blocking issues, the monitoring and graphs in OEM frequently became so overloaded that they could not be used and would not load, making OEM useless for troubleshooting certain production issues."
"One of the big problems we had was using Data Guard along with OEM; it just didn’t work (Data Guard is a local higher level solution). Every time we did a takeover, it would stop working, so that was the biggest challenge we had."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"I would like to see Oracle address the multi-data center monitoring and management in a more seamless way where management services are easily spread across the data centers like they can be today, but address the single database repository that can only exist in one data center at a time."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"It is mostly stable, but we have found some issues when we are having resource contention or CPU issues."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."
"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."
"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."
"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."
"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."
"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
"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’s price is reasonable."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product is very expensive."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"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."
