Provides visibility to our infrastructure, how it is, the resources we are monitoring, and quick updates when it has any problems
We use the solution to monitor a vast infrastructure, including operating systems, maintenance, Windows, services, processes, applications, and databases. Therefore, we have integrations with monitoring products such as Microsoft, Cisco, and SaaS solutions for management The solution provides…

Great for monitoring and reporting; does not crash
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…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool is flexible enough to be customized based on customer requirements."
"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."
"We're using native monitoring capabilities for all our server hardware, for visibility for applications, for URLs, for webpage response and accuracy, and for monitoring network throughput in a lot of particular instances. We're using lightweight protocols for pinging, for DNS, for LDAP."
"The ability to pull hosts together to show what processes are running, so it can be used for change management."
"The most valuable features are the rich reports, high performance, and the look and feel of the WebEx webpage are very good."
"The fact that they have a very integrated relationship with Sentry Software, the Knowledge Module, is valuable... The richest feature for us is the number of Knowledge Modules that we can load into the product to add breadth of service to the customer. It enables us to move up the operational stack from hardware, to operating system, to application, and to cloud... That enables us to provide one pane of glass over all those layers - hardware, OS, app, and cloud."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"It is a stable solution."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"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."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"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."
"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."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
 

Cons

"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"The solution is a little obsolete."
"BMC's solutions for cloud monitoring (monitoring of AWS and Azure resources) are very poor in stability and customization."
"We were somewhat limited in TrueSight due to some of the RBAC controls not quite being what we wanted as far as delegating out administrative privileges for implementation. But because we were able to turn requests around pretty well, that burden wasn't too heavy."
"The solution should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost depends on the usage."
"The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."
"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
"The tool is moderately expensive."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."
"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."
"The price of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is very high. If there was more flexibility with the sizing of the licensing it would be helpful, especially during the pandemic. We have wanted to expend but the licensing cost is too high."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
