Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is high availability."
"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."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"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."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Extremely user friendly: Any IT professional can learn how to admin NPM in a short time."
"The solution has good alerts. Notifications are sent via email to technicians. You can filter the kinds of alerts you want to receive as well. It's excellent."
"I find it to be a strong product suite, particularly when you need a comprehensive monitoring tool."
"The initial setup was relatively easy, and we didn't have to install anything. All we had to do was put on the devices we wanted to monitor."
"Features like monitoring and infrastructure dependency mapping are valuable to us."
"The solution is great for monitoring. If something is going wrong, we can immediately find the root cause."
"There are many valuable features, including the network configuration manager, and the network performance manager."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"This product has no real downside unless they fail to continue development of its capabilities."
"The product needs to reduce its price."
"Downside of the tools is the web console are hung or crash. It need to improve the performance."
"SAM's software-defined network monitoring capability is also low and could be improved."
"The major concern in the product revolves around application performance monitoring since end-to-end application monitoring is not possible with the tool."
"Reporting is the only thing with which we currently have challenges. They have this in two ways. There is the report writer, which is the backend, and we also have web reports, which are on the console. So, they have removed the report writer for the backend reports, and we are making use of the web console, but most of the users are not finding it very interesting to use the frontend reports. I would like them to bring back the report writer. That's the key area within it to improve on the reporting. If they can bring back the report writer, then most users will actually be comfortable. I have some customers who are trying to export their report to an Excel format, but it is not possible because they said any report that has been done from the web console cannot be exported to Excel, but most of the customers need to export their reports to Excel. That's one area they need to work on."
"It should also be easier to upgrade SolarWinds. AppDynamics is harder to deploy but easier to upgrade. So AppDynamics takes a lot of time and effort to install, but you can upgrade it in minutes. SolarWinds is the opposite. It's easy to deploy, but upgrades take forever. To date, nobody can complete it on time, so the production environment is sitting idle."
"Nodes in Azure are able to be monitored with the use of agents, but this does not apply to cloud service offerings that are not node based."
