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

"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."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user friendly the solution is."
"Scalability is the most valuable feature to us."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has an amazing GUI interface that does a lot of tasks with fewer steps rather than making it manual on the database or the operating system side."
"With the last version I worked with, we can perform auto-configuration to resolve issues for the database, such as automatically adding space when a tablespace runs low."
"The product has made it possible to reduce the size of the performance team and still be able to correctly monitor all the databases and fix issues quickly, resulting in fewer downtimes."
"The solution provides very useful insights for application and database performance tuning, and we were able to do away with guess work in determining where the bottlenecks were in application performance."
"Once this solution is configured, it will help administrators centralize their management of the environment."
"The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control gives us diverse monitoring capability that can be extremely powerful."
 

Cons

"I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."
"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."
"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."
"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)."
"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"When it comes through India, it's just terrible."
"The initial setup is quite complex. In general, the product is complex; they need to simplify it and make it lighter."
"The configuration is not straightforward for web continuity. It needs some improvement and the deployment is expensive."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"No system works well."
"The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows."
"The installation steps are very complex and the documentation for them is very generic and does not make very clear the correct steps from the installation to the addition of the host and database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation's pricing is average."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"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."
