Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."

"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 rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."

"The stability has been great."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"RMAN tools need improvement."

"All of the areas of reporting are very bad and need to be improved."

"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
