Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"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."
"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."
"It is the best database management system."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"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."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The product is highly-priced."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
