Oracle Enterprise Manager Reviews

The most valuable feature of OEM is that it goes hand-in-hand with our EDI. Essentially, it allows us to operate the SOA Suite solution on a management level.

The biggest improvement Enterprise Manager has provided us is that it allows for easy maintenance and setup of our user base that's surrounded by SOA Suite.

The issues we've had with Enterprise Manager go hand-in-hand with our issues with SOA Suite. There are performance issues that we see tied to SOA Suite and the B2B functioning, all of which impacts Enterprise Manager.

We've had no issues deploying it.

There have been no problems with its own instability, just with performance that's tied to SOA Suite.

We don't have that many functional users using it, so scaling has not been a true issue for us.

We use a third-party hosting solution. A lot of the setup in technical maintenance is all handled through them. I know we've logged several SR's for the OEM issues related to the SOA Suite issues.

This was set up through our third-party implementer.

Everything you do; you can see the whole picture. You can everything in one place. That's very good, very convenient.

Easier to read. For example, on the home page of information, under Adm, that should be a little bit easier to read. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time to read and understand what's going on there.

Very stable.

Scaling is okay.

I've opened tickets a few times. They are quick to respond, get back to you quickly. I'm happy with it.

I would recommend learning and using OEM right away. It will cut down the time put in by DBAs a lot, by using OEM.

I'm very happy with OEM.

Performance tuning, segment and memory advisor

All our production systems are monitored by OEM to get the alerts and warnings and deal with it

One of the biggest issues, specially for 12c grid contro,l is the performance; to be able to monitor and find the root cause of performance issue immediately, in real time. It is important for the grid control to perform quickly in order to minimize the time of investigation and to identify the root cause and required solution,

For Oracle databases and Oracle products in general, OEM is the best monitoring / console solution to get live and historical overview on your systems

I think it's mainly to do a health check of the system and the application and how the performance is doing, so that we can determine any tuning and tweaking that we need to do; it's helpful.

It's mainly to figure out the scalability of our application using the OEM. That gives us an insight into how the processes are doing. That's the value that we're getting, to go back and tweak the application.

It's quite stable. I have not had any issues.

We are just experimenting with a couple of products right now, so we have yet to go over that. We haven't really done any scalability test.

I have not ever used it.

We had bought Oracle before. We moved away from a proprietary system into the Oracle Database, so this was a needed this functionality.

When looking at, and selecting, a vendor to buy from, the most important criteria I look for are the stability of the product, scalability, and technical support after that. We went with Oracle because it is the main brand.

It's good to use. We're not having issues with it.

I like the reports of Enterprise Manager, as you have a lot of targets. You can create generic reports based on some metrics of those targets. It allows me to have some sort of place to check all my targets.

I would like to have more details and privileges. Sometimes, I have a problem where I need to grant a user in Enterprise Manager the privilege to view a database. When I grant a privilege to him, to monitor a database, he also gets the privilege to view the host of the database, and I don't want him to show the host, only the database. I would say more grantable and obtainable privileges are needed.

I've been using it for four to five years.

It's very, very stable.

It's been able to scale for our needs.

I never needed support for Oracle. The packages that they offer are very good. I never need to contact any guys from Oracle to perform support.

It's very easy to setup, not for someone who has never worked with it, but if you had junior or someone a little more experienced than a junior, they are good enough to deploy. It's easy to deploy.

Before deploying a new service, be sure you configure it very well, because it's very boring and time consuming to later do this. It would be good to do this during the deployment phase. That is what I would think.

Performance tuning, Alerting, SQL Tuning, Database Reporting

Generating a graphical report on the fly, Diagnose any performance issues

There is not much negative about OEM. But with newer versions, maybe more reporting functionality can be added.

On a scale from 1 to 5 I would give it a 4.

The installation was straightforward

In-house team

Oracel Enterprise Manager is must if you have too many oracle databases across the landscape

The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible. It's easy to customize.

Security. 

The performance, I feel. The performance needs to be increased a little bit.Sometimes it will take some time to open forms, so I feel it should be a little bit faster.

Downtime is there, but it depends on the user's needs.

Scales well.

They're good.

I recommend it. You should learn it; you need to know about it before you start using it. There are tools and thing which can help. There is development training you can attend, and then you can start with it.
