Oracle Enterprise Manager Reviews

Our primary use case for this solution is for monitoring and reporting and emailing those back to the client.

When it comes to Enterprise Manager, we use single instances and price management. We install these in every installation of Oracle and then we manage them specifically for individual databases. We are looking to consolidate everything. 

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.

My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now.

I have been using this solution for more than 15 years.

My impression is that the stability of this solution is quite good. We've never had any issues and we've been doing prevention maintenance. 

I would rate the scalability of this solution a seven, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

Our business is doing consultancy for different types of companies and I was looking for an RMM system to manage all of these systems.

My impression is that the initial setup is quite straightforward and easy. However, I have more than 15 years of experience with Oracle.

Overall, I would rate this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

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. 

It's a good product for Oracle management and monitoring. This solution is deployed on-premises, and we are using the latest version.

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. Enterprise Manager is good for a DB administrator to troubleshoot and check monitoring.

The interface could be more friendly for basic users.

I have been using this solution for one year. 

I haven't used Oracle technical support for this product. But we have used them for other products, like Oracle Server or Oracle Appliance, for example. For Oracle Appliance, I don't have good feedback because recently we had some issues with Exadata, and they were taking too much time with giving us a solution, so the case was still open for weeks.

Technical support is responsive, but the problem is that there are some other customers that we are managing, and there is not good feedback because every now and then, there are issues for which we open a case, and the same issues are continuously appearing. We are experiencing issues with the same hardware, and we never get a fix.

This is for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and for Oracle Exadata. For Oracle software, we have good feedback about the quality of the support. But as far as the hardware, I cannot say the same.

Setup wasn't very complex, but usually Oracle products are not easy to install. It's normal for there to be some complexity because Oracle products are not "plug and play" like other products.

For monitoring issues, I compared Oracle Enterprise Manager to Nagios. There was a monitoring need that Nagios could not provide but Enterprise Manager could.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

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.

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.  

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.   

I would like to improve the cost. 

I have been using this solution for the past three to four years. 

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

We need two people for the deployment process. 

The initial setup is straightforward.

The return on investment is good.

The license is good but can be improved. 

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

We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for monitoring.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution.

The solution’s stability could be improved.

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager for five months.

I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager a seven out of ten for stability.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution. Many users are using the solution in our organization.

I am satisfied with the solution's technical support and their response time.

I have previously worked with Grafana and Zoho.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented the solution through a third-party vendor team.

Oracle Enterprise Manager has a yearly licensing fee, which I think is expensive.

I would recommend Oracle Enterprise Manager to other users.

Overall, I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager a seven out of ten.

My organization is a software company that develops application files and uses Oracle databases along with Oracle EBS for interface.

The most valuable features of the solution are its stability and the performance of the databases from Oracle.

The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool. The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager needs to be more user-friendly.

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager for twenty years. I use the solution's latest version, which is Oracle Database 19c.

It is a stable solution.

All the employees in my company use Oracle Enterprise Manager.

The solution's technical support is nice since they respond very fast to queries, especially if you have an account with them. There is a forum where a lot of people talk about anything you can search for if you don't have an account for Oracle's support.

The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward. The setup phase of all Oracle products is straightforward.

The solution comes as an in-built solution of the database of Oracle. One can install the database from Oracle in 20 minutes.

You need to download the installation file from Oracle's website for the installation process.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is the tool for managing the database, and we use Oracle database in our company.

I would recommend other tools to those planning to use Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Oracle Enterprise Manager provides all the features to its users for the price paid for it.

I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

The customer service and support was very good.

Positive

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. 

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.

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.
