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…

A complete monitoring tool with good reliability and helpful support
I'm a reseller. I don't use the solution personally. The technical feed is not my part. I'm just more the one who takes the meeting with the client and I leave the technical part to my partner. There are different deployment options. For the public sector, it's generally on-premise. The banking sector is usually on the cloud. It really depends on the environment of the clients or what kind of infrastructure they have. For the cloud, typically AWS or Azure is used. If you have a big environment, it's really the tool that is really suitable for your environment. However, if you have a small environment, it's useless. If you have one or two services, it's just too big. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"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."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"It's easy to use."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
 

Cons

"The product must improve its support team."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Technical support could be faster."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very expensive."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"It's expensive."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"The pricing is very high."
"There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."
"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
"The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
"It depends on the customer, what he wants."
