Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"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."
"I would recommend Oracle Enterprise Manager to others."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager has been the preventive reporting capability."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
 

Cons

"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."
"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"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."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The product is highly-priced."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
