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…

Great integrations, power flow, and good support
They need a little more self-service. Some of the places where there's still a dependency on defense logic. If those could be eliminated, that would be ideal. They've done a fantastic job eliminating a lot of those dependencies and there's a lot of self-service. However, some of the areas where we could have it connect to, for example, Splunk or ServiceNow, in a self-care version versus having to go back to their engineers, that's an area where they could do a little more. There are still a lot of engineers who get involved versus if it's a little more API-driven and self-served dashboard connections. Doing it the other way would just make life easier for users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The best feature is the highly flexible graphs."
"One of the valuable features is rapid dashboards."
"Provides agentless monitoring so there's no need to install the agent on each server."
"Power packs."
"The most valuable features of ScienceLogic are AI and machine learning."
"It has good monitoring capabilities across cloud environments, data centers, and hybrid environments."
"ScienceLogic allows us to create and customize a user-friendly dashboard."
"When it comes to features, the power pack is the most valuable."
 

Cons

"The product must improve its support team."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"Addressing duplicate IPs: There is the ability to edit the DB and fix this, but adding some logic to understand them would be a plus."
"ScienceLogic should provide detailed documents to customer as the current documents are not sufficient."
"ScienceLogic could improve the implementation, it could be made easier."
"We want to understand: how does the back end work? What if some problem occurs? What we can do? They need to provide more information."
"They should improve their support process and add chat."
"One important area we feel could be improved is the UI. It takes a lot of clicks to do very simple tasks."
"The product must educate its strategic partners for deployment."
"There are often bugs in new releases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"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."
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
"My company has an enterprise-level contract with ScienceLogic, so it is available to my organization at a good price."
"It comes with the OS built in, so no need to purchase an OS license or DB license."
"Plan for adding more to it. Once you see EM7 in action, you will want to keep adding systems to monitor."
"The pricing model for ScienceLogic could improve."
"Pricing between the two is quiet large therefore you can save some money if you don't require to collect all info on each device."
"The license of ScienceLogic is based on how many endpoints are used. The number of monitoring points you want to have."
"Its price could be lower, but for what you pay, you got a lot of value from its features and functionalities. Customers always want a discount or a cheaper solution."
"Decide what you want to monitor and only monitor those items. Absorb other elements as you grow."
