Microsoft Configuration Manager and Oracle Enterprise Manager compete in enterprise IT management, with Oracle Enterprise Manager having the upper hand due to its advanced monitoring and performance tuning capabilities.
Features: Microsoft Configuration Manager excels in managing Windows environments with features like software deployment, integration with Microsoft products, and a centralized console. Oracle Enterprise Manager offers deep monitoring capabilities for Oracle databases, advanced SQL tuning, and comprehensive reporting.
Room for Improvement: Microsoft Configuration Manager could improve high resource consumption, Linux support, and Intune integration. Users seek better automation and user-friendly reporting. Oracle Enterprise Manager users note setup complexity and suggest improving the interface and documentation.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Microsoft Configuration Manager supports on-premises and cloud deployments, with mixed customer service reviews. Oracle Enterprise Manager focuses on on-premises with some cloud capabilities, being comprehensive but complex, with adequate yet costly support.
Pricing and ROI: Microsoft Configuration Manager's pricing can be high, but users see value in automation and control benefits. Oracle Enterprise Manager offers free basic functions but incurs costs for advanced features, being a premium solution. Both provide valuable ROI through increased productivity and efficiency.
When contacting My Oracle Support, I encounter first-line support initially, which is inadequate as I require more in-depth support.
I would rate Oracle Enterprise Manager's technical support at an eight.
The product is suitable for our size, handling 800 devices.
When trying to connect with non-Oracle products and applications, the connection process is not very straightforward.
There were misconfigurations by our team rather than issues with the product itself.
We have not faced any challenges or difficulties with it.
Adding AI features for automated replies or helpdesk support would improve Oracle Enterprise Manager.
The areas where Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve include the dashboarding, which could be made more intuitive.
Currently, it works better and has more stability. It crashes less frequently, which provides a better experience.
The setup cost is considered sufficient.
I would rate the pricing of Oracle Enterprise Manager as very expensive, definitely deserving a 10 out of 10.
In terms of pricing, Oracle Enterprise Manager is on the premium side compared to other monitoring tools.
The licensing is based on the core.
The product valuable for deployment recovery.
The tool allows us to monitor 24/7, configure dashboards, and quickly check the status of databases that are in critical states.
One of the most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager has been the preventive reporting capability.
It also has features like the AWR report, which helps analyze resource usage during specific times.
Microsoft Configuration Manager helps IT manage PCs and servers, keeping software up-to-date, setting configuration and security policies, and monitoring system status while giving employees access to corporate applications on the devices that they choose. When Configuration Manager is integrated with Microsoft Intune, you can manage corporate-connected PCs and Macs along with cloud-based mobile devices running Windows, iOS, and Android, all from a single management console.
New features of Configuration Manager, such as the support of Windows 10 in-place upgrade, co-management with Microsoft Intune, Windows 10 and Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise Servicing Dashboard, integration with Windows Update for Business, and more make deploying and managing Windows easier than ever before.

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.”
