A scalable and easy-to-deploy solution that has an amazing GUI interface
Pros and Cons
  • "Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has an amazing GUI interface that does a lot of tasks with fewer steps rather than making it manual on the database or the operating system side."
  • "While entering the database, there is some delay in viewing the data on the page called SQL monitoring, which reviews live statistics about the current and live queries on the database."

What is our primary use case?

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control controls many things besides the database, like the WebLogic environment and hardware. You can use the solution to patch the database, make a data cloud, which is a DR solution for the Oracle database, and patch the operating system itself. It's an amazing tool for handling an Oracle environment, including Oracle products, hardware, and operating systems.

What is most valuable?

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has an amazing GUI interface that does a lot of tasks with fewer steps rather than making it manual on the database or the operating system side. For example, we can create a DR solution called the Data Guard using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control in a few minutes. However, it may take days to create it manually on the database.

What needs improvement?

While entering the database, there is some delay in viewing the data on the page called SQL monitoring, which reviews live statistics about the current and live queries on the database. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control could automatically create an SR with Oracle and follow up with SR, but it needs more enhancement in its ability.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control for ten years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Sometimes, there may be some time delay in its internal clock or time stamp on some pages and components. When we restart the agent in the target site or some connection, there may be some delay or latency.

I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control a seven out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Around three to five users are using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control in our organization.

I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control an eight out of ten for scalability.

How was the initial setup?

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is too easy to deploy, especially for the default or the standard configuration. If you want the solution to monitor and handle any new database, you should add it as on target, which is an easy process.

What about the implementation team?

The solution can be deployed in one day.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control a nine out of ten.

Reliable with good monitoring and alert capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is reliable."
  • "They need to simplify it and make it lighter."

What is our primary use case?

The solution is primarily used for monitoring the Oracle Database and extra data.

What is most valuable?

The peer format tuning is very useful for our clients. If they want to check the monitoring for peer formats and SQL cyber tuning, et cetera, they can. In traction sites also, if they want to check it out. If they have a hardware problem, they get some notification for any hardware error. You can configure between notification for mail and confirmation for mail to send to the customer. If there is a problem, for example, some memory problem, they sent an email. And they can check the monitoring on the cluster side. If they see if there is a problem and they have any action, they give can provide an action plan. The monitoring tool is great.

The solution is reliable. 

What needs improvement?

There are enough features, however, they could add an SQL flag. They have no MongoDB or other databases. It would be ideal if they offered plugins for those. 

The initial setup is a bit complex. 

In general, the product is complex. They need to simplify it and make it lighter. 

The performance can be a bit slow. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for a long time. it's been about 15 years now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution offers a good amount of stability and reliability. It's good enough.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is quite complex. It is not exactly simple. In terms of difficulty, I would rate it a four out of five. 

The reason it is not easy to install is that you must install the database and the process of that. They also have no HA. The HA architecture is very hard to install for an Enterprise Platform product.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten, even though it is a bit complex and really would be better if it was lighter and simpler. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Efficient central tool for managing Oracle products
Pros and Cons
  • "If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."
  • "The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult."

What is our primary use case?

From my experience, people use Enterprise Manager to control how they use Oracle software, including the installation base of software such as Oracle Enterprise Edition and options. But just having the system is not enough. It also helps with their licensing needs. System administrators use it for deeper purposes.

How has it helped my organization?

We are a service provider, so it depends on what the customer wants. The core Oracle Enterprise Manager can be used for cloud control, but it depends on the customer's needs.

What needs improvement?

Currently, it seems that Oracle is focused on cloud features, and perhaps even incorporating artificial intelligence into the administration of different functions of the software. This could potentially be implemented into Oracle Enterprise Manager.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle for over fifteen years, so my experience using Oracle software is rather deep.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult. For those who have done it multiple times, it's not a problem at all.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

As far as I know, it is free with the Oracle database.

What other advice do I have?

If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten because nobody is perfect, so I don't believe that it's possible to create a perfect product. However, Enterprise Manager is a good product for the functions it provides within the system. It is a central tool for managing Oracle, which is beneficial. Moreover, it does require some additional functions.

Good monitoring capabilities and reporting, but support for more applications would be helpful
Pros and Cons
  • "The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."
  • "The only negative thing about this product is that it doesn't support all environments or all applications."

What is our primary use case?

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients. Our primary use case was to change the infrastructure for one of our clients. They were moving SAP from an on-premise deployment to this one.

How has it helped my organization?

SAP is a high-performance application, and we are able to use Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to monitor and prevent bottlenecks.

What is most valuable?

The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks.

What needs improvement?

The only negative thing about this product is that it doesn't support all environments or all applications. It does support most but there are limitations around applications and monitoring.

I would like to see an expansion of the functionality into other products. This includes smaller products, like monitoring applications for MySQL or even smaller Oracle databases. It does support Oracle very well but in the smaller databases, they should increase functionality. Improving the detail of the databases that it can monitor would also be helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

We first implemented Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control approximately a year ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a very stable solution

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This product is very much scalable.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support from Oracle is very good.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy because you just have to deploy an agent. However, I did not install it myself.

The hardware is installed on-premises but it is a cloud device. This is what's called a Cloud@Customer. It's a private cloud infrastructure but can also join up with the public cloud.

It took us approximately one month to deploy.

What about the implementation team?

We deployed this product with our in-house team, although it was a collaboration with Oracle. We dealt with Oracle telephonically because our team was in South Africa.

Only one person from our team was required for deployment. Also for maintenance, only one person is needed.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, this is a good product but of course, there is room for improvement.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Centralized management, monitoring, and automation for diverse Oracle environments offering comprehensive features, but its complexity and resource-intensive nature may pose challenges
Pros and Cons
  • "The capability to manage incidents, monitor agent statuses, and address performance issues is highly valuable."
  • "It's crucial to promptly resolve agent-related issues to ensure continuous and accurate monitoring of database features within the Oracle Enterprise Manager."

What is our primary use case?

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using it for thirteen years.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate it seven out of ten.

Compared to other monitoring products the user interface is very clear but the setup is very complex
Pros and Cons
  • "Compared to other monitoring products, the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications."
  • "The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is to run Oracle databases and to monitor them. It can do everything. 

What is most valuable?

Compared to other monitoring products the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications. 

What needs improvement?

The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control for over a year. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't had any issues with stability or scalability. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Oracle support is always good. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I don't handle sales but I know that it's very expensive, especially when it comes to support.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Not a ten because no product is a ten. It has everything that I need. It gives me some problems with the deployment. The initial deployment should be more simple. 

If you have a lot of Oracle infrastructure, I would recommend this solution. My advice would be to read a lot of documentation about the deployment. Get an expert to help with the deployment. It can be very complex with an enterprise manager. It can be a waste of time trying to figure out all of the features.
