Provides good stability and has an easy implementation process
It is a good tool for monitoring databases. It enhances the overall visibility within the database The older version of the product works with Flash technology. Although the latest version works with Java, it still requires Flash technology. It should utilize only a Java plugin to visualize your…
Pieter Plas - PeerSpot reviewer
A solution with a great monitoring system and ability to control access remotely
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment depends on the size of a customer. We make the customer in the enterprise server, and there is a download per customer for the installation package. We can also roll it out very easily, and when we install it on one or two systems, it explores the network for more systems. We can then fire a deployment package on the other systems. So in one hour, we can do a lot. Most of the time, 90% of the work is very easy, and the last 10% are the business-critical systems from a customer. Also, we manually install important customer systems, like special applications where we like to monitor specific services in the server itself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
"The biggest benefit of using Oracle Enterprise Manager is its monitoring capability."
"The setup is simple."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
 

Cons

"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"The pricing is very high."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
