Amr Mourad - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Oracle Database Administrator at ISFP
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.

Great notifications, a wide variety of features, and excellent monitoring capabilities
It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop. It's nice to be able to do things remotely using my phone; however, in many cases, it would be very helpful to be able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer. This would be especially useful for things like remote access to computers. It's too hard to do much on a Windows computer using a tiny phone screen. Being able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer would be much more productive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the automation of the alerting, so we can be proactive when we use that program instead of being called in the middle of the night because something is wrong."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"I can see the whole picture and analyze the data; I rely on that a lot."
"Excellent product for enterprise monitoring: The tool is able to monitor several other database products across various OS platforms."
"My advice to others is Oracle Enterprise Manager is a stable and scalable enterprise compared to the other similar solutions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"So this solution allows for 24/7 support and is very handy."
"One of the applications I have used the most was to troubleshoot users and I've never faced difficulties or issues with the application itself."
"It has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"The setup is simple."
 

Cons

"Customer Service: Appalling, raised issues with support and that take ages to respond.Technical Support: Appalling; they take far too long to understand the issue, they just simply appear to read scripts; if our problem is not on the script; then they struggle to think."
"It's quite user-friendly when integrating, but when propagating user access and agents, it's not so intuitive."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"Services are pretty inconsistent. Too much usage will make it go down, and we will have to step in to bring it back up."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The SQLrun sometimes does not work, and it crashes most of the time."
"Sometimes it will take some time to open forms, so I feel it should be a little bit faster."
"Still, there are lot of improvements that need to take place."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"Sometimes the speed is a problem. When I've been remote controlling people, from time to time, there were some issues with people in Hong Kong."
"Remote Desktop Assistance for Mac endpoints - not having this functionality is a major inconvenience in having to have two systems for clients using this platform."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is highly-priced."
"The solution is free."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"It's expensive."
"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
