Featured Reviews

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.
Pieter Plas - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner at Beerepoot Automatisering B.V.
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

"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"We are going to minimize the downtime; if the system is down, it will page us and we are going to get to that issue, and it also tells us when the system is running slow so if some people are experiencing performance issues we can see that, and it is a very useful graphical user interface for the management to understand."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics."
"It's user friendly."
"It is a very good Oracle tool which enables us to incorporate all the databases throughout our environment, set up several rules, monitor from there, and perform almost any operation with one click of a button, making life easier and freeing our time from mundane tasks."
"It is a must if you have more than a couple of databases to monitor and manage, it can also do a lot of other stuff and monitor various types of targets."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"This is one of the best tools we've had."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
"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."
"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 gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"The setup is simple."
 

Cons

"Easier to read. For example, on the home page of information, under Adm, that should be a little bit easier to read."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"What I would love to see in Enterprise Manager is more support for the hardware, more support for Bare Metal."
"For databases and servers with high blocking issues, the monitoring and graphs in OEM frequently became so overloaded that they could not be used and would not load, making OEM useless for troubleshooting certain production issues."
"Performance tuning tools need improvement."
"It was a very, very complicated product to set up."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"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."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"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."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very high."
"The product is very expensive."
"It's expensive."
"The solution is free."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
