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

"I would rate Lenovo XClarity Controller ten out of ten."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to provide insights into server status and alerts."
"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 remote management capability was also good."
"My advice to others is this is the best solution for server management on the market."
"The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible."
"It has improved significantly our monitoring and tuning of our databases."
"It's the most reliable database available on the market."
"In fact, I've already met many people in which I have done just that."
"My high rating reflects its ease of use and that it contains a host of features, anything and everything a database administrator would want it to perform; all the way from creating a database to adding space, to performance monitoring, to back up and recovery, to exports and imports, and security."
"We actively monitor the databases and can get ahead of any issues."
"I am happy with it; I think we are not leveraging it enough, but for what we use it for, it is perfect."
"The first reason we chose Oracle was the feature set; it was really comprehensive."
 

Cons

"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."
"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. However, software issues are managed and processed with the help of the Lenovo technical team, and they sort them out."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller."
"It worked very slowly. It was not well on performance."
"I don't think it is that scalable. We are using multiple nodes, and we have faced issues there, with the scaling."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"One of the drawbacks that I don't like is, quite often you'll see that the agent will show a status of Pending."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"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."
"It is mostly stable, but we have found some issues when we are having resource contention or CPU issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."

"The product is very expensive."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
