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 have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"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."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"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."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"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'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."
 

Cons

"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"It's expensive."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"The solution is free."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"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."
