Oracle Essbase and Oracle Enterprise Manager compete in the analytics and system management categories, respectively. Oracle Enterprise Manager appears to have the upper hand due to its robust monitoring and management features.
Features: Oracle Essbase offers multi-dimensional database capabilities, a powerful calculation engine, and aggregate storage applications, enabling advanced financial and operational analytics. Oracle Enterprise Manager provides database management, application performance monitoring, and real-time diagnostics, essential for high system reliability.
Room for Improvement: Oracle Essbase could enhance its real-time data processing capabilities, improve integration with other Oracle products, and expand its cloud offerings. Oracle Enterprise Manager may improve by simplifying its user interface, reducing setup complexity, and providing better support for non-Oracle systems.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Essbase offers streamlined deployment and flexible setup with responsive customer support. In contrast, Oracle Enterprise Manager, while complex due to its extensive features, offers strong customer service focused on efficient system issue resolution.
Pricing and ROI: Oracle Essbase provides a cost-effective entry price and favorable ROI, appealing to businesses seeking high-value analytics at a lower cost. Oracle Enterprise Manager's higher setup costs offer substantial ROI for organizations needing comprehensive management features, justifying the investment for long-term strategic benefits.

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.”
Oracle Essbase is an OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) Server that provides an environment for deploying pre-packaged applications or developing custom analytic and enterprise performance management applications.
