A solution that offers excellent replication and easy implementation

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

"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
"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."
"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."
"Provides high degree of comfort regarding High Availability (HA)."
"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."
"No system downtime High Availability (HA)."
"We were able to perform major system maintenance on our production system after performing a switch or production role swap."
"Query tuning, historical graphs, real time statistics on query usage, easy to find blocking or locking queries, easy to kill queries, easy to add new datafiles to tablespaces about to run out of space, easy to explore table structure."
"It is the best database management system."
"OEM 12 C has simplified management of our Enterprise Systems and has eliminated unnecessary and legacy tools."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"It's user friendly."
"I like the performance tuning features, particularly since it gives me a good glimpse of what has been happening."
"Monitoring of the database is the most valuable feature, because we want to know what's going on there."
 

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."
"The MQSeries replication part doesn't work smoothly, sometimes requiring more manual activity to ensure synch between live and backup."
"Could make it easier to fix object errors."
"The systems overheads need improvement."
"OS version compatibility needs work."
"I think that there should be a converged effort with IBM for faster remote journal entry reads when the remote journal is in "fire mode"."
"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
"The version we're using is not portal ready."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"It's expensive. We are paying on a yearly basis, but we are currently negotiating for a new license."
"I'm a bit skeptical of it. I personally experienced a little longer time than I would like to get the right solution for issues."
"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."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"We have used technical support many times; it is very bad."
"It comes with some monitoring bugs, which once reported to Oracle support is always solved."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
