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

"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user friendly the solution is."
"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."
"Scalability is the most valuable feature to us."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EM CC) is the best product for monitoring many of the Oracle databases and other Oracle applications such as Siebel, E-Business Suite, WebLogic."
"In summary, I would highly recommend this solution."
"The real-time threat detection has been the most valuable feature."
"The solution offers a good amount of stability and reliability."
"I use the solution for troubleshooting."
"The tool is mainly for monitoring databases, especially focusing on performance. It supports various databases, including Oracle, allowing daily activity monitoring. The solution enables displaying performance metrics, providing continuous tracking. It also offers management capabilities for connected databases, featuring graphical performance graphs. Users can perform tasks like killing sessions and controlling database elements. Additionally, it allows viewing tables, SAN disks, and other database components."
"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."
"Real-time SQL, performance monitoring and SQL Tuning Advisor are the features that I use the most."
 

Cons

"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."
"I haven't found very user friendly things, some are a little tricky."
"I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."
"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)."
"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI."
"The product lacks in the area of database, making it an area where improvements are required."
"They do not feel relaxed using EM Cloud Control for those subjects."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"Sometimes the alerts are coming a bit late, for example, an alert for the CPU. It depends on the threshold that you have, how long you want to check the CPU of the machine. I got some faulty alerts with Data Guard. I had stopped a synchronization for maintenance and then I re-synchronized Oracle Data Guard. It took some time to appear in Enterprise Manager and send me the right notification that Data Guard was up and running and synchronizing. I realized this because I went directly into the database to check the status of Data Guard, and it was telling me that it was running okay. But in Enterprise Manager, it needed some more time to update the interface."
"I have registered a testing Microsoft SQL Server environment, but I did not find it very useful (it cannot be used as an alternative or as SQL Server Management Studio)."
"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"When registering a host, only if your host is running Linux will you get all the information which is available on EM. It would be nice if in future releases to include IBM AIX (primarily)​ and Microsoft Windows (secondly)​."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation's pricing is average."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
