Useful for database management and helps with troubleshooting and monitoring
Pros and Cons
  • "What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
  • "Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."

What is our primary use case?

The tool provides valuable visibility into Oracle websites, offering information such as session counts, long-running transactions, etc. We're even working on developing our services to enhance monitoring capabilities within Enterprise Manager further

What is most valuable?

What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues. Automation is incredibly useful when setting thresholds and notifications to manage processes effectively. Recently, we've set up Oracle Resource Manager. 

The value of using Oracle Enterprise Manager lies in the visibility it provides in your database infrastructure. It serves as a solution for database management, including monitoring, notifications, and troubleshooting.

What needs improvement?

Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses. Enhancing performance overall would also be valuable.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The tool is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We are currently working with at least five large banks that have deployed or are ready to deploy Oracle Enterprise Manager. We use various metrics and diagrams to monitor their processes and understand what is happening within their systems.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't contacted the technical team yet. 

How was the initial setup?

You need to familiarize yourself with the concepts and additional requirements for deployment. Cloud services are a bit different from on-premise setups. You need to understand some extra features and technology, which can lead to additional challenges.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

What other advice do I have?

Currently, we're considering a hybrid cloud environment for our customers. While one of our customers has been utilizing this for several years, we're now exploring the pricing model to determine its suitability for different customer segments. While banks may not fully transition to the cloud, smaller financial companies or universities could benefit from this model.

My recommendation would be for those interested in starting to use Oracle Enterprise Manager to take advantage of its free version. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

Provides comprehensive monitoring and management, but the cost should be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
  • "I would like to improve the cost."

What is our primary use case?

The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there. For example, if any issues arise, such as performance slowing down or sessions getting stuck, you no longer need to go to the server and write a script to address them.

Stable monitoring tool that can help manage all the resources and view all the resources from a single dashboard
Pros and Cons
  • "The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

Enterprise Manager is a centralized system. It will help integrate all the Oracle servers and Oracle applications into a central single dashboard that we can see, and it helps to monitor and control all the services from enterprise management.

What is most valuable?

The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature. All the enterprise services can be seen from a single pane, whether it be a database, applications, or hardware. We can manage and monitor from a single page.

What needs improvement?

Lots of other OEMs we can integrate, but there are very few variants that we can bind and see and monitor from OEM Enterprise Manager. In that case, Oracle can increase the addition of other OEM devices that we can integrate into enterprise management.

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with this solution for more than five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

All the clients that have Oracle servers are using the Enterprise Manager. So, there are around six to seven clients using this solution.

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support was very good.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy. 

The deployment process takes five to six hours. 

What about the implementation team?

The process will take the deployment of our database first. We need to set up the Oracle database. After that, the database is created, and we need to create a listener. And after that, we can set up the Oracle Enterprise Manager database. In the middleware, it will communicate with the database, and after the process is complete, we can browse the Oracle Enterprise Manager. With the help of Oracle Enterprise Manager, we can communicate with all the servers and other posts that support SNMP or with whichever supports the Oracle Enterprise Manager point.

What other advice do I have?

It's a very stable monitoring tool that can help manage all the resources and view all the resources from a single dashboard.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I deducted one point because it doesn't offer a feature of allowing other operating systems to be hosted on Spark.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Private Cloud

A freely available solution that provides great integration and enables users to manage everything in their environment
Pros and Cons
  • "We can manage everything in our environment."
  • "The solution is not as simple as people say it is."

What is most valuable?

I am satisfied with the solution. It enables me to keep a check on my business. It is a good product. We can manage everything in our environment. It is the best solution in the market. I am satisfied with the integrations provided by the product.

What needs improvement?

We are facing a problem due to the upgrade of TLSv1.2. We cannot access OEM currently. We have to upgrade our server to the latest version to be compatible with the security layer of TLSv1.2.

The solution is not as simple as people say it is. We need to be trained in it. It is supposed to manage the whole infrastructure. Currently, I'm using it to manage only my databases and Oracle applications. Oracle must provide some training courses to use the solution.

When we procure Oracle products, they should include training courses. Oracle is responsible for training the users before installing the software or the hardware. Other products provide training.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution since 2016.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is not good. We have to go through Oracle FDP. We have problems with support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is free.

What other advice do I have?

I am not using the product to its full capability. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Easy to set up with great dashboards and high reliability
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
  • "Technical support could be more responsive."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution to manage the environment. We can manage and monitor the availability and the health of the database.

What is most valuable?

The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are. 

You can look at many databases from one single point of view.

The solution is stable.

It scales very well.

It's easy to set up. 

What needs improvement?

The cost is far too high.

Technical support could be more responsive.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for a long time. I've used it for more than ten years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is quite stable. I'd rate it eight out of ten in terms of reliability. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We've had a very stable environment.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

There are no issues with scaling. The product is designed to scale. 

We have 20 users at this time. 

Our barrier to scaling and upgrading is based on the cost.

How are customer service and support?

There is plenty of online support that you have access to if you have issues. 

Overall, technical support has been good. Sometimes the issues are fairly complex, and there is a delay in response due to the issues. We'd like a faster turnaround. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We did have another database tool, and we wanted a more stable environment. Oracle offered good stability and a rich toolset. It was the preferred database at the time. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very easy.

It was a massive project initially when we started. We had to do a lot of user training and went through the whole cycle of integration testing before rolling it out. 

We pay one database administrator to maintain the solution. 

What about the implementation team?

We handled the initial setup in-house. 

What was our ROI?

We haven't evaluated ROI per se. However, the low downtime and great user experience have made it a positive investment. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost is high, especially for smaller businesses. It is not affordable at all. 

We pay for the license on an annual basis. 

I'd rate it ten out of ten, where ten is the most expensive. It's not affordable.

We do not incur any extra costs or fees beyond the standard license. 

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We did look at some other database tools.

What other advice do I have?

I'm not using the latest version of the solution. 

We're still on-prem and have to move to the cloud.

I'd recommend the solution. It's easy to understand your environment when you use it.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises
