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

"Apart from the fact that we are assured high availability and disaster recovery, we use this product for different purposes as well."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."
"It allowed us to have a stable, low maintenance, worry free disaster recovery solution that we can present to our management and our clients."
"You can sleep without fear every night if MIMIX takes care of your data replication."
"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
"The replication portion of the solution is perfect."
"By implementing remote journals, we have put the load on the target system as opposed to the source."
"Provides high degree of comfort regarding High Availability (HA)."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of OEM is that it goes hand-in-hand with our EDI, essentially allowing us to operate the SOA Suite solution on a management level."
"We have been using the overall OEM for over eight years."
"The ability to scale is excellent."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c is a transformational technology that comes with a set of comprehensive features and great practices that help IT transform into a true enterprise Cloud that delivers on business needs."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"I like the performance tuning features, particularly since it gives me a good glimpse of what has been happening."
 

Cons

"Replication of the IBM i spooled files and files on the IFS system (Windows-like environment). About 1/2 the time, we have to nudge the system a bit to get the file(s) over."
"OS version compatibility needs work."
"Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."
"The systems overheads need improvement."
"The version we're using is not portal ready."
"Replication errors need to be resolved."
"The monitoring part of MIMIX - VSP (Vision Solutions Portal) needs some improvements."
"Could make it easier to fix object errors."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"Costs of add-on’s and management packs i.e AWS (Amazon) and Golden Gate"
"I would say the footprint on the server. Also the GUI can be tricky."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"Every release, they seem to move the navigation and you have to retrain your entire DBA staff."
"I don't think it is that scalable. We are using multiple nodes, and we have faced issues there, with the scaling."
"It comes with some monitoring bugs, which once reported to Oracle support is always solved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution is free."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"It's expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"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."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
