Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"The basic setup is very easy."
"Zabbix helps to save time."
"Zabbix is scalable."
"Its overall flexibility is most valuable. When our customers have some custom applications that are not necessarily covered by the community or a standard monitoring tool, we use Zabbix to build our own modules with our own templates. This feature has been useful in using Zabbix for infrastructure and IT monitoring. It has also been useful for industrial equipment monitoring. Zabbix is very lightweight. It is efficient in terms of performance because it doesn't use a lot of resources."
"There are lots of great features and functionality within the solution."
"The flexible licensing model is one of the solution's most valuable aspects. It really allows for great flexibility for companies."
"The initial setup was very quick. The first time it was long because I didn't know it yet. I was only using Windows. The first time was very difficult because of the operating system."
"In terms of customization and integration, we have more flexibility. We can automate configurations, define deletion rules, and customize based on the needs. The client interface allows for further configuration, making it quite comprehensive."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"I would like to see a more flexible mobile client, and better HA out of the box."
"Its UI should be improved. They did some improvements in version 5, but it could benefit from some more work. Its integrations should also be improved. They've been active for one year, and they seem to have noticed that. It has new integrations, but it could benefit from more integrations. As far as I know, there is no model to push statistics, metrics, or events towards Zabbix. This type of API isn't yet there, whereas some other tools provide an API for this."
"The event correlation could be better."
"In an upcoming release, there should be automated reports which we are currently doing manually. For example, if we collect a report file every day and want to send it to a moderator for review. We are expecting this feature to come out soon but it would be valuable to have now."
"Zabbix technical support is sold separately."
"The user web interface is a little bit too basic, we need to link Zabbix to Grafana to have more options, such as graphs and charts. The interface needs to be improved. Additionally, there could be better integration with Grafana API."
"The solution needs to add features for finding loopholes or problems and their root causes."
"Outside of the normal standard monitoring, I would like to extend patching, importing patching, and supporting patching for Windows Servers."
