Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The areas where Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve include the dashboarding, which could be made more intuitive, and the drill-down reporting, which can and should be enhanced."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The license is good but can be improved."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"The product is very expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The product is highly-priced."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
