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

"Knowing that our data is in multiple backup locations, provides us with piece of mind as far as a disaster recovery situation is concerned."

"Provides high degree of comfort regarding High Availability (HA)."

"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."

"We were able to perform major system maintenance on our production system after performing a switch or production role swap."

"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."

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

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

"Complete/custom machine real-time replication process (including apply and verification of destination)."

More MIMIX [EOL] pros

"The first reason we chose Oracle was the feature set; it was really comprehensive."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager provides complete, integrated solutions to achieve the level of business service quality required of enterprise applications, tools for managing configuration, performance and availability, and when combined with other management packs and plug-ins, it provides the means to achieve end-to-end management of the entire application infrastructure."

"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."

"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics."

"Initial installation of 12c OEM is convenient and straightforward."

"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."

"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."

"The biggest benefit of using Oracle Enterprise Manager is its monitoring capability."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager pros

Cons

"Replication errors need to be resolved."

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

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

"Could make it easier to fix object errors."

"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"."

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

"The version we're using is not portal ready."

"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."

More MIMIX [EOL] cons

"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."

"Some of the new features it could give us: maybe access to some of the taxation data and also some of the other benefits it could include as part of the system."

"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."

"For databases and servers with high blocking issues, the monitoring and graphs in OEM frequently became so overloaded that they could not be used and would not load, making OEM useless for troubleshooting certain production issues."

"Technical support could be more responsive."

"Easier to read. For example, on the home page of information, under Adm, that should be a little bit easier to read."

"There are some monitoring tools, such as GoldenGate, that would be great if they could put them in OEM."

"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
