A stable tool that provides users with a dashboard to give a view of all the implementations of Oracle products at a glance
When my company has to deal with complex customers along with the many products from Oracle, we use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a dashboard to get a view of all the implementations of Oracle products The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and…

Foolproof stability and robust system
SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"The biggest benefit of using Oracle Enterprise Manager is its monitoring capability."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"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."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"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."
"It's a very expensive solution."
