Monitors databases and applications efficiently with timely alerts
The most valuable features are the monitoring capabilities and how it provides time-to-time alerts, which are very beneficial. It is particularly helpful in providing alerts for tablespace issues or when databases or applications cross certain thresholds. The tool allows us to monitor 24/7, configure dashboards, and quickly check the status of databases that are in critical states. This saves time and enhances productivity.

Eliminates replication and allows you to use only one database, speeding up performance and reducing amount of storage
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. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would recommend Oracle Enterprise Manager to others."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"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."
"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."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"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."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"The product is very expensive."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"The solution is free."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"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."
