Extensive functionality impresses despite occasional setup complexity

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

"In case we have an emergency or a sudden issue on the production system, we can put our point of sale terminals in local mode for 1 hour, switch over to the backup system, verify that all is running OK, then the POS systems can reconnect, and our users can sign on again and continue working."

"You can sleep without fear every night if MIMIX takes care of your data replication."

"Customer Service: Excellent; their team is very knowledgeable and responsive."

"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."

"It's used in our new architecture, for production, HA/DR and it works with different data groups."

"Apart from the fact that we are assured high availability and disaster recovery, we use this product for different purposes as well."

"I think it is the best, most robust and flexible product available."

"For data replication purposes, we would migrate users from the live box to the backup machine in a matter of minutes, which was much quicker for the end user and required no restore from tapes."

More MIMIX [EOL] pros

"Go ahead and implement it, as you'll find that it is very useful for infrastructure related tasks."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."

"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."

"In my opinion, without Enterprise Manager no DBA can do their job."

"Monitoring of the database is the most valuable feature, because we want to know what's going on there."

"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."

"From my experience, I'd say that the most valuable feature is the ability to manage all the databases, hardware, and middleware from one pane of glass."

"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."

Cons

"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."

"Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."

"Could make it easier to fix object errors."

"The product dashboard that comes with the product could use some work."

"Replication errors need to be resolved."

"The systems overheads need improvement."

"Monitoring tools can be improved but are very useful already."

"The monitoring part of MIMIX - VSP (Vision Solutions Portal) needs some improvements."

More MIMIX [EOL] cons

"Technical support is good. That said, they take a lot of time before they start acting upon an issue."

"There are a lot of options; it takes time. I don't see anything like a dashboard or something similar."

"Sometimes the solution can be quite difficult in terms of when you want to deploy agents."

"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."

"One of the biggest issues, especially for 12c grid control, is the performance; to be able to monitor and find the root cause of performance issues immediately, in real time."

"Sometimes it will take some time to open forms, so I feel it should be a little bit faster."

"We've had a lot of struggles patching automation. There's no good log file that you can debug."

"The support is not good for this product. The enterprise system that I have is kind of complex."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."

"The license is good but can be improved."

"The solution is free."

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

"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."

"The pricing is very high."

"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."

"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."
