We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment.""I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses.""The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are.""Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts.""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.""The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring.""It is the best database management system.""Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."

"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps.""The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.""I like the tool's incident response and security patching.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."

Cons
"I would like to see better pricing.""The product must improve its support team.""In my experience, the monitoring could be improved.""It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome.""In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved.""My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now.""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.""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."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cons →

"The solution lacks mobility.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization.""It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model.""Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time.""The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used.""Tanium’s scalability could be improved.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "The pricing is very high."
  • "We are satisfied with the pricing."
  • "There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."

    Top Answer: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.

    Oracle Enterprise Manager is an on-premises management platform that provides a comprehensive integrated solution for managing and automating your various Oracle products, including applications, databases, middleware, hardware, and engineered systems located either in your Oracle data center or in the cloud.

    With the Oracle Enterprise Manager's console, you can administer multiple databases and servers, distribute software to multiple servers and clients, monitor objects and events throughout the network, and integrate with other tools.

    Key Oracle Enterprise Manager Features and Products

    Reviews from Real Users

    Oracle Enterprise Manager stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its central management and monitoring and its reporting capabilities

    Robin C., head of Oracle Exadata Centre of Excellence at Tata Consultancy Services, writes, "The database performance monitoring features are very useful and allow us to quickly zero in on DB-related issues. Exadata storage server and Infiniband switches can be viewed from the GUI in OEM which cannot be done in other tools. The ability to deploy metric extensions makes this tool extensible for our custom monitoring also."

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A database manager at a tech services company notes, “The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics.  They have plug-ins that are very helpful. Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product. They have a very nice graphical user interface. The monitoring is good. We can capture the SQL tune from us. With Oracle Enterprise Managers, we can see the rich performance tuning.”

    Tanium Endpoint Platform reduces security risk, improves agility & increases efficiency, a fundamentally new approach to endpoint security's threat detection, indicent response, vulnerability assessment and configuration compliance & with management's software distribution, asset utilization, asset inventory and patch management.
