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.

Principal Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good at handling replication, provides cross-database replication but SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies
SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies. The product supports Oracle, but I am not aware of what other technologies it supports. If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Enterprise Manager, we have achieved a dramatic decrease in the number of database incidents."
"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."
"Can drastically reduce the diagnostic time and help monitoring multiple instances."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"You can get a healthful overview of all your targets in one snapshot in Enterprise Manager."
"For any organization that wants a reliable or secure system, this is the product to go with."
"I like the reports of Enterprise Manager, as you have a lot of targets and can create generic reports based on some metrics of those targets, which allows me to have some sort of place to check all my targets."
"I find it nice that OEM provides a graphical way to manage both our database and E-Business Suite."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."
"The most valuable thing about this product is that it replicates data between SAP databases (ASE to IQ) very successfully."
 

Cons

"I would say the footprint on the server. Also the GUI can be tricky."
"It can be a process hog sometimes."
"The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure."
"I would like to see more functionality/information in Standard Edition Oracle for the same performance analysis."
"I would probably like to see more plug-ins to manage even more heterogeneous types of resources."
"Customer service: Fair, when needed."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"We have experienced some downtime in terms of performance. For example, when we carry out some complicated code, it usually times out; sometimes it goes beyond sixty seconds and that's frustrating for the users."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is highly-priced."
"The pricing is very high."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
