Oracle Enterprise Manager Reviews

It is a good tool for monitoring databases. It enhances the overall visibility within the database.

The older version of the product works with Flash technology. Although the latest version works with Java, it still requires Flash technology. It should utilize only a Java plugin to visualize your dashboard. Additionally, It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome.

We have been Oracle Enterprise Manager since 2012. At present, we use the 13c version.

It is a stable platform.

We have 5000 Oracle Enterprise Manager users in our organization. We have a team of 20 administrators to manage. Additionally, we plan to increase the usage in the future.

The product’s technical resources should cooperate with us during the shifts. We have to wait as they transfer cases to other resources according to their shifts.

We switched to Oracle Database Appliance from the commodity server for better compatibility and performance.

The product is easy to implement as we are familiar with Oracle solutions. We can download and import it to a virtual box or infrastructure through their website.

The product’s troubleshooting capabilities and visibility justifies the investment.

The product’s price is reasonable. It works well for database server visibility. It helps us understand the cost of database monitoring.

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 needs to be considered for improvement.

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager for many years. I am a seller of the solution for my company.

My company's technical team uses the solution since it is stable. It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution.

Around six or seven customers of my company use Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Whenever my company needed assistance, Oracle's technical support has been helpful. Since my company knows people from Oracle, we get support from Oracle's local team, too.

From whatever knowledge I have gathered from my team, I can say that the beginning phase of the initial setup process of Oracle Enterprise Manager can be complex. Lately, my team has been using Oracle Enterprise Manager as any other solution.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We use the product to monitor applications and Oracle databases. 

Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts. 

We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge. 

I have been using the product for more than 13 years. 

I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. 

I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability a seven out of ten. 

The tool's deployment was straightforward. 

If over six hundred errors are related to the database, it can lead to a crash, resulting in significant losses for any business. Using a monitoring tool helps prevent such disasters. For instance, if a high CPU consumption query is identified through the monitoring tool, it becomes a proactive way to address potential crashes. By identifying and working on problematic queries, you can notify users to terminate sessions, avoiding downtime and potential business impacts. This monitoring tool proves to be incredibly helpful for managing and overseeing applications and data.

I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

I work on whatever development projects I get with Oracle Enterprise Manager in my company.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool. I find Oracle Enterprise Manager to be a complete tool because it has options like SQL Scratchpad, Oracle Migration Workbench, etc.

Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.

In the future releases of Oracle Enterprise Manager, I would like to see the product offer the ability to its users to scale up the solution whenever required.

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager for around ten years. I work as an Oracle consultant.

It is a stable solution.

Though Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable product, it may not be as scalable as Oracle Big Data. You can scale up Oracle Big Data to any number, but it may be difficult to do so when it comes to Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Around 10 to 50 people in my company use Oracle Enterprise Manager.

The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten.

Positive

The initial setup of the product is easy.

The product's installation phase may take up to a maximum of 30 minutes.

The product's installation phase can be taken care of by one person.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

Usually, I use Oracle Enterprise Manager for development purposes, and I can say that the development part is very easy with Oracle.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for data encryption.

The solution is easy to use and has good performance.

The tool is expensive. 

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager for ten years. 

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

The solution is scalable. The solution’s scalability depends on how you manage your hardware, server type, storage and the processes needed.

We have 200,000 users using the solution. We have sufficient usage of the solution.

The initial setup of the solution is straightforward. The time of deployment depends on the database and customer. The solution needs a third-party integration that uses the database.

Deployment is the same with the wireless license. You first deployed a server to the cloud and then created a schema for all your data links. The deployment process depends on the system type you will implement.

The solution’s licence is expensive. It is a user-based solution and has a yearly subscription for upgrades.

The maintenance of the Oracle Enterprise Manager solution depends on the type of banking system you are using, the number of users, the amount of data, and whether or not you have migrated any data. Since we have not migrated any data, it is going as it is.

You should go for an open-source solution if possible.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I've used the solution for monitoring. It looks at if something is slow, which processes are taking the most resources, if it's up or if it's down, et cetera. 

I like how you can drill down to a problem, like which specific query is causing the most workloads, which user has issued that query, what's taking up the most resources, et cetera. 

It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle. Yeah. It's very insightful when it comes to what you can check healthwise on a database. 

Technical support could be faster. 

I've been using the solution for three years. 

It's fairly stable. It doesn't disappoint. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

The product is scalable in terms of how much better business you can monitor. You can really just keep adding them.

I know of six users of the solution in our organization. That said, I am sure we can add more if we need others. If we add new employees, we will increase usage. 

Technical support is good. That said, they take a lot of time before they start acting upon an issue. 

I did not handle the initial setup of the solution. 

That said, I understand that it is simple to implement. 

I can't speak to the deployment or how long it took. 

The entire implementation was done in-house. 

There is a license that is required, however, I cannot speak to the exact cost.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. We are quite satisfied with its capabilities. 

When we have a tuning problem, we use this solution. 

It's incredibly useful for drawing up the SQL that's being run, identifying and resolving a problematic SQL. You can monitor performance using the various performance data which is what some employees in the companies where I work use it for. 

The majority of the time, I use it to aid in the detection of a performance issue.

It makes things a lot faster. 

We used to have to try to run down the SQL by using queries against the database and run explain plans and go through a number of different processes by hand, which would be very time-consuming. I am pointing and clicking, seeing what the top SQL is in terms of performance and utilization, taking up resources, and I am more or less navigating through it to get to the problem. What used to take hours to solve a problem, can be done in a matter of minutes.

It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using.

Also, being able to utilize that to look at the plans that are being generated for that piece of SQL and then determine how we can change that to increase the performance.

In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved.

I like the tree-type system. In all of Oracles products, you can get anywhere in several different ways, and I find that navigation to be a little bit tedious. For instance, you might wonder, "How did I get there that time?" " Oh, I got there a different way" the next time. It would be easier for me to remember if there was only one route to get there. 

This is my point of view. If you spoke with a younger DBA who has just started, they would have no trouble at all. When you have been doing something for the past 30 years, or how you learned to do it, or how you learned to learn when you were younger versus what they are doing today.

We have been providing Oracle Enterprise Manager since its inception.

The version used, varies from customer to customer and what they have. 

Currently, we don't have it installed on a local machine.

The stability of Oracle Enterprise Manager is very good.

When it first came out, and I started using it, I was working for Oracle in Oracle Education. You could utilize it, and the SQL behind it to gather statistics was wrong. But they have that sorted out now, and things are looking up today.

It's very scalable. You can expand it to cover everything you need in that environment.

It could range between 10 and 20, depending on the size of the customer and the number of DBAs they have. However, DBAs and system administrators will use it in some cases. I have one customer where there are some power users who can look at things. Then we try to get the developers to use it as well, so they can look at their SQL to tune it. In my area, it's usually 10 to 20, but once you open it up to developers, it could be another 50 to a hundred. It all depends on the company, its size, and how it is used.

A good percentage of Oracle clients use this solution, but I don't have any personal plans to use it more or to use it less. We use it when it's available.

Oracle technical support is pretty good, but you have to know how to work with them.

You have to know when to bring on a duty manager, or when to raise the level of support that you need, but they're pretty good. They do a pretty good job overall.

I've used Toad before, as well as a SQL developer that they have, which does some of the same things as this, but none of those products provide the overall picture that Enterprise Manager does, though Toad is frequently used. That's something I've done for a variety of customers. Quest Spotlight was a product that was used in the past. There were a few products that did the same thing, and it's possible that those were the only ones. But these days, if I walk into a client and they're using a tool, I'd probably prefer it to be Enterprise Manager.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not as simple as Microsoft products for example, but it's not difficult.

Oracle products, in general, are not Microsoft products; you will always have some configuration or some tweaking that you will have to do.

I haven't deployed this solution in quite some time. It has always just been there. I would say deployment, is typically part of a larger project. It's just one of the tools that you're going to deploy along the way.

In terms of timing, and how it takes to deploy, would be days, and planning would be on the backend of a larger project. You are preparing databases and applications before you get to the core of what is to be done, then you can start including tools around it, which is normally on the backed.

One person can easily deploy and maintain this solution.

The licensing is the responsibility of our customers.

Other than having the expertise to put it together, and then use it properly, there are no additional costs incurred beyond the standard licensing fees that I have encountered.

My advice would be to find someone with experience who has implemented it before, and if they're not on staff, bring them in as a consultant. Have them work with the staff to show the staff how to do it. As I am a consultant, of course, this would be my recommendation.

You can save yourself a lot of time and a lot of heartaches, by working with someone that knows what they're doing. Of course, you want to ensure that all of that knowledge is transferred, but if you find someone who knows what they're doing, it can save you a lot of time and they can set things up correctly and show you how to use it efficiently.

Because it's a good product, and I worked for Oracle when they first released it, which was more than 20 years ago, but things have changed dramatically since then. 

It did not replace the DBA as they claimed when it was first introduced, but we, the DBAs, knew it wouldn't. It's a really good product and can be a really good tool in the right hands. I would rate Oracle Enterprise Manager a nine out of ten.
