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

"In my opinion, without Enterprise Manager no DBA can do their job."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"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."
"One of the valuable features is performance drill down."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"We are able to manage larger numbers of databases with less human resources."
"The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible."
"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 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 has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"The setup is simple."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
 

Cons

"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"The support is not good for this product. The enterprise system that I have is kind of complex."
"One of the biggest issues, especially for 12c grid control, is the performance; to be able to monitor and find the root cause of performance issues immediately, in real time."
"We use it mostly for the connection to the databases. It could be the version I'm on, but we seem a little limited on what we can do for monitoring for the middleware."
"UI is the part that I like to see improved in the future."
"It could improve in some areas like the screen. It's not so clear for the novice, when a new person looks at the screen he/she may not really understand where to start first."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"It's expensive."
"The solution is free."
"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."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
