"It reduces the time to resolve issues and requires less manpower."
"I think the performance and interface are the most important features."
"It has improved our organization with its ability to catch issues quickly and fix them."
"Transition tracing is the most valuable is pretty easy and useful, but the user experience piece is also good."
"It is a good monitoring tool. Its stability is very good."
"Technical support is helpful."
"We set up alerts recently so we can fix any issues more quickly in production."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"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."
"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."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"I would like to see more of a unified platform. They're very, very new on the server side, machine agents. I want them to be more mature in this area."
"The solution's user interface should be improved."
"Sometimes, it is hard to navigate through and find if something is wrong or figure out where an error stemmed from."
"The agent deployment could be simplified by, for example, adding a GUI."
"One area for improvement is the MST model. It would be more helpful if it could be offered as a managed service provider model with more multi-tenancy and features."
"An area that has room for improvement on the CR and ERP would be the addition of monitoring of the internal solution. For example, you can monitor the day-to-day and everything in the transactions with AppDynamics, but there's also a lot going on in the kernel itself that you cannot monitor. The automation needs to improve as well. As it stands, a lot of customization needs to happen before you can use AppDynamics."
"We have had downtime, which has been the result of config, application, or cord issues."
"The resolution time takes longer than expected."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"I would like to improve the cost."
