Senior Finance Executive at Texitech
Simplifies RAID computation and technical support resolves issues effectively
The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system. If we encounter any sort of issue, we can troubleshoot the problem with the assistance of the Lenovo technical team. Sometimes, we do not receive complaints from the controller. We also receive software issue resolutions by managing the process with the assistance of the Lenovo technical team.
Amr Mourad - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Oracle Database Administrator at ISFP
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 remote management capability was also good."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to provide insights into server status and alerts."
"My advice to others is this is the best solution for server management on the market."
"I would rate Lenovo XClarity Controller ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Lenovo XClarity is the ease of use because of the interface browser that is highly compatible and it has mobile web management."
"The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system."
"The Lifecycle Management Pack for Enterprise Manager has allowed the organization to have an almost real-time view of security and compliance across every single database within the estate."
"For any organization that wants a reliable or secure system, this is the product to go with."
"Go ahead and implement it, as you'll find that it is very useful for infrastructure related tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of the alerting, so we can be proactive when we use that program instead of being called in the middle of the night because something is wrong."
"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."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"It is the best database management system."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases; you have full visibility with the tool, it is a complete solution, and the software is simple to use."
 

Cons

"Lenovo XClarity can improve the dashboard integration. For example, graphs could be better. Additionally, more integration with other vendors is needed. For example, VMware has integration with a lot of vendors."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller."
"It worked very slowly. It was not well on performance."
"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller. However, software issues are managed and processed with the help of the Lenovo technical team, and they sort them out."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The reports are very busy."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"It comes with some monitoring bugs, which once reported to Oracle support is always solved."
"With any Oracle protocol, and Enterprise Manager is one of them, as far as the interface is concerned, it's not good and is still pretty ugly."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"The product is very expensive."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"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 pricing is very high."
