Oracle Enterprise Manager Reviews

Helps us to monitor the databases and avoid any downtime.

We get alerts from OEM, so we get to know this is the issue with the database. There are multiple databases which we can configure on it, so we can proactively monitor those issues.

It should be more scalable, because only for the database can we have the backup source standardized. But for the GUI, if the service crashes... it should be more scalable.

We haven't had many stability issues but, yes, sometimes. It's actually dependent on the host. If the host goes down then obviously the UI goes down. That's why I was talking about scalability.

It's provided by Oracle, so it's okay.

We were using our manual scripts for monitoring, and backup scripts which Oracle provides.

Every step and all the documentation is there on the Oracle site, so there is nothing for me to suggest. It is the most up-to-date tool as of now for monitoring, that's it.

Overall monitoring of Oracle databases and operating systems. Real time performance tuning of SQL queries.

By using OEM, less time and resources are spent to monitor and manage databases.

It comes with some monitoring bugs, which once reported to Oracle support is always solved.

I have been using this solution for the last 6 years.

No issues at all, very easy to deploy.

A very stable product.

Up until now I have not had any issues.

Customer Service: The best in the industry.Technical Support: Very good. Sometimes there is a need to escalate things, but that's ok.

I used BMC earlier, but OEM is very vast and mature as compared to other similar products.

Straightforward, easy setup GUI.

In-house team.

Not really.

Go ahead and implement it, as you'll find that it is very useful for infrastructure related tasks.

I really like how Statspack has evolved into AWR, ADDM and ASH reports, fully automated out of the box.

Being able to capture performance information that occurred in the past is very helpful, when tracking down anomalies.

I would like to see more functionality/information in Standard Edition Oracle for the same performance analysis.

I have used Oracle Enterprise Manager since version 9i.

No, not really.

No, not really.

Good.

Initial setup is straightforward.

DBA Team implementations.

Cant speak to that.

Network. Ask what other people are doing and using, and if their environment is similar in terms of use and capacity.

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.

• Provides a platform for tuning multiple databases and scheduling of multiple tasks. • Monitors database health and performs regular monitoring. • Used to administer multiple networks and services from multiple locations. • The Oracle environment, including database servers and application servers can be administered • Very useful for oracle database administrators. Because DBAs are required to create new user, manage database backups, adding tablespace and data files. Oracle Enterprise Manager offers database administration functionality that helps simplifies the routine tasks of database administrators. • The graphical interface of Oracle Enterprise Manager provides ease of use to database administrators for managing routine tasks including scheduling of database backup using RMAN.

• In a large organization with large number of targets, managing systems on an individual basis can be time consuming and difficult. • Upgrades/Patches Installation and implementation timelines can be extensive as each and every system must be upgraded one by one.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is a set of system management tools from Oracle that are used to monitor the Oracle environment, automating tasks to make database management easier for business. Enterprise Manager uses web based architecture and its HTML based console can be accessed from anywhere through browsers. Oracle Enterprise Manager provides complete, integrated solutions to achieve the level of business service quality required of enterprise applications, tools for managing configuration, performance and availability, and when combined with other management packs and plug-ins, it provides the means to achieve end-to-end management of the entire application infrastructure.
