A user friendly solution that makes it easy to submit and view jobs
The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user-friendly the solution is. Traditionally, when we use a mainframe system to submit jobs, we have to see the spool or any error we might get in the spool. It is very command-based and uses a green screen, which is not user-friendly. Micro Focus enterprise makes it easy to submit and view jobs. We just have to log into the particular portal, go to the catalog and view any files we want. The same can be said about submitting jobs. We know what JCL we want to submit, give it the path, and then submit it with no command required. It is very user-friendly.

Extensive tool features support database monitoring, but support and pricing present challenges
I don't fully understand what improvements could be made in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Scalability is the most valuable feature to us."
"The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."
"We really look at infrastructure as a service as the major trend in IT, at least for a service provider like us, for the next 3 to 4 years, so we really want to have a precise, clearly defined, but very dynamic and flexible private cloud where we can easily provision and deploy infrastructure as a service to our end customers."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user friendly the solution is."
"The ability to tie the pieces together, supporting multiple providers across both HPE and non-HPE products, is crucial in a heterogeneous environment composed of many different commercial and in-house developed components."
"These products let us integrate multiple tools together and help to automate the processes by cutting down time and effort through the modules and reusable contents."
"Real-time SQL, performance monitoring and SQL Tuning Advisor are the features that I use the most."
"The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases."
"The solution is reliable."
"The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."
"The report feature is very useful."
"The tool's most valuable feature is notifications. It is also flexible in defining metrics where you can specify any metric type. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control helps monitor the resources you manage so that you do not overpay."
"OEM is invaluable in many ways, other products can replace bits of it - but the product should be used as a single point from which to view as much of your enterprise as possible."
"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."
 

Cons

"Deployment has been extremely painful for the production environment. This was mostly due to the decision to use our internal Microsoft-based Certificate Authority (CA)."
"I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."
"I’d like to see better monitoring visibility. We have to rely on HPE Technical Services to tell us when those challenges and problems occur."
"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support."
"I haven't found very user friendly things, some are a little tricky."
"Because this solution provides insight into all of the areas within the IT stack, it would benefit from enhancements in security."
"There is a lack from the point of view of monitoring on the system. The performance of the system and its resources are things that I think can be improved. There needs to be real-time monitoring available on the solution."
"There is a lot of information required to deal with the vulnerabilities in the product on a timely basis, for which the documentation part is not available."
"While entering the database, there is some delay in viewing the data on the page called SQL monitoring, which reviews live statistics about the current and live queries on the database."
"The product does have room for improvement in patch management."
"​Oracle Data Guard monitoring: There are no alerts for redo log transport failure.​"
"They do not feel relaxed using EM Cloud Control for those subjects."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation's pricing is average."
"We are using the free version. We are not using any licensed packages of Enterprise Manager, so I’m not quite sure how much each package is. As I understand it, there are different plug-ins that you need to buy for Enterprise Manager."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
