Extensive functionality impresses despite occasional setup complexity
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. Now it has become a significantly improved product. We have integrated identity management, and we are using it for normal database examination, tuning, and performance. We are working with STATSPACK and similar tools that are integrated in Oracle Enterprise Manager. We are currently working with version 13.5, having upgraded from 13.4 last year. Automation is useful for improving operational efficiency, and there are many more opportunities to automate outside the databases. Not many things need to be automated inside the databases. We have jobs running, imports, exports, and similar tasks. To automate these processes, we utilize the Scheduler from Oracle, which is managed in the databases by the vendor. This is not part of our DBA functions in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

A solution with a great monitoring system and ability to control access remotely
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment depends on the size of a customer. We make the customer in the enterprise server, and there is a download per customer for the installation package. We can also roll it out very easily, and when we install it on one or two systems, it explores the network for more systems. We can then fire a deployment package on the other systems. So in one hour, we can do a lot. Most of the time, 90% of the work is very easy, and the last 10% are the business-critical systems from a customer. Also, we manually install important customer systems, like special applications where we like to monitor specific services in the server itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Can drastically reduce the diagnostic time and help monitoring multiple instances."
"I think it provides value for the money; it definitely helps us be proactive in our database administrating, because we don't have to spend time reacting to everything and can find out where the problem is before our customer even realizes they have a problem."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"Initial installation of 12c OEM is convenient and straightforward."
"Warnings and alerts are sent to the primary DBA. Primary DBAs address the alerts in a timely manner, instead of waiting for it to become an issue."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"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."
"The setup is simple."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"So this solution allows for 24/7 support and is very handy."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
 

Cons

"Services are pretty inconsistent. Too much usage will make it go down, and we will have to step in to bring it back up."
"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"We did have some hiccups in working with Oracle."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"One thing I would like to see is the option of agent less monitoring."
"It could be faster; sometimes it takes a while to make the connection. Sometimes, it's complicated, too."
"The areas where Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve include the dashboarding, which could be made more intuitive, and the drill-down reporting, which can and should be enhanced."
"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."
"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."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
"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."
"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."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"The pricing is very high."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
