Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Reviews

The main use cases for Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control include adding a new machine, making tuning adjustments, and monitoring databases.

The automation helps save time and free up team members' hours as it provides many reports which allow us to predict when we need to add more disk space for the database.

With the last version I worked with, we can perform auto-configuration to resolve issues for the database, such as automatically adding space when a tablespace runs low.

I don't fully understand what improvements could be made in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.

I have experience with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and Oracle for 10 years.

It's not difficult to make deployment with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control; you just need to ensure that the prerequisite configurations, such as opening the necessary ports for server communication, are set up properly.

Deployment takes about 30 minutes when everything is properly configured and the networking is good.

I am not satisfied with the technical support from Oracle, as they often take a lot of time to respond to requests, and I find myself looking for solutions independently.

I would rate Oracle's support at about five; it's not perfect at all.

Neutral

The price of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is very high, especially when considering the additional cost for features such as the tuning pack, which makes it more expensive compared to monitoring solutions for other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server.

I am currently working with Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and PostgreSQL.

I enjoy using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, and despite the higher price, I believe it provides enough benefits.

When used properly, Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control deserves a rating of 7 or 7.5 out of 10.

My company's team takes care of the use cases related to the product, and they use the tool to deal with middleware products like Tomcat, OHS, and WebLogic. In general, the aforementioned middleware products are managed with the help of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

In our company's environment, there are multiple installations related to OHS and different kinds of middleware products. One of the teams in my company uses the tool to validate the middleware products in a single window and increase memory utilization, after which it is configured to the applications to enhance performance.

The most valuable features of the solution are for middleware products, so Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is used to deal with the marking of hogging threads and Java heap monitoring. The aforementioned feature is valuable since it is related to the area of application performance enhancement. The tool directly impacts their application performance, so its users use the tool to increase the configurations in their environment according to their utilization.

The product is very robust. The documentation part is not available, making it one of the areas where the product lacks and needs improvement. The documentation part is to be improved from Oracle's end. The security infrastructure must be improved since there are many vulnerabilities when it comes to the tool. There is a lot of information required to deal with the vulnerabilities in the product on a timely basis, for which the documentation part is not available.

My recommendation is related to the thread dump that needs to be enhanced in the next release of the solution.

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control for more than six years. Recently, I updated the product from Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13.4 to Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13.5.

My company uses products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace, but the aforementioned products provide very little information related to middleware; because of this, our company uses Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

I rate the product's initial setup phase a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup process, and ten is an easy setup process. There are some issues related to misinformation related to the product's installation and configuration. For a first-time user, there is a lot of confusion when it comes to installation and configuration.

For the product's deployment phase, my company calculates the number of applications or how many applications would be required to be onboarded on the tool, after which we select the profile. According to the selected profile, my company raises the request related to hardware configuration, and once the hardware configuration is available, we prepare the OS building. Once the OS is built, the company installs the application.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model in our enterprise environment.

The solution can be deployed in ten to twelve hours.

The deployment process requires two people, one from Oracle's end and the other to manage DB.

Our internal team carried out the installation within our company premises.

Before going to live application and production, the team in our company works with the tool to get the information related to their tests since they conduct tests before going live. With the help of the tool, the team in our company takes care of the configuration and the application performance. Once the application performance is stable, our company team puts the application in the production environment. The tool is very helpful when it comes to application performance.

I rate the product's value an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is zero percent, and ten is a hundred percent return on investment.

My company chose Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control because it is robust and user-friendly. In our company's environment, a lot of end users already use the product to monitor their applications.

Two people are required to take care of the application from the operation end.

I rate the overall tool a nine out of ten.

All the databases you run in your environment can be managed through Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. The software itself is very valuable. The way the tool allows users to manage the infrastructure, which includes the hardware, databases, and everything else in one place, makes up for its valuable features.

The product lacks in the area of database, making it an area where improvements are required.

I have been using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control for seven to eight years. Before upgrades, it was Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and after upgrades, it is called Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. My company is a customer of Oracle.

I work in a big company with thousands of databases, hardware products, and multiple equipment types. Over 100 people in my company use the solution.

I have contacted the solution's technical support. The support is very good.

The installation part of the product can either be described as easy or as a difficult process, but there are a lot of prerequisites or requirements to be met before starting with the installation process. It may seem like a difficult phase if one misses out on any of the prerequisites needed to take care of the installation process.

The product is worth the money one pays for it.

Based on the organizational structure, it cannot be considered a cheap or expensive product, even for enterprises that run critical applications and have good financial support. I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side.

My company chose Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control over other products in the market to be able to manage a range of areas within the company, including databases, hardware, and operating systems.

It is a very valuable tool for managing databases, especially the ones from Oracle and different operating systems, in one place. From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers.

The product is very stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.

It is difficult to put the solution in the cluster.

I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

The OEM requires a big infrastructure. Our company replicated the monitoring infrastructure and subsequently decided to utilize our Zabbix. Large companies provide us with a complimentary infrastructure to run OEM only after significant negotiation.

The major problem of OEM is agent installation. The agent doesn't restart, and upgrading the agent is boring. You need to upgrade the OEM and the entire stack, which takes some time to work. It's difficult to upgrade the OEM. Deployment takes one or two days for a simple use.

The product will be free if you have an enterprise license. However, the price will be very expensive. The last implementation I did involved applying it to monitor the coding gate, and it was very expensive. The company advised us to invest in it, and we had to create several scripts to monitor it.

I used to work as an Oracle instructor, delivering lessons directly for Oracle. This experience helped me gain a deeper understanding of OEM. Currently, I work as a partner, engaging in various consultancy roles. I actively use OEM for the bank's operations. I have successfully installed and navigated through various functionalities of OEM, from basic monitoring to historical data analysis, capacity validation, and job coordination. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend leveraging OEM, especially for organizations with extensive Oracle infrastructures.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

This is particularly useful for optimizing performance. It helps in identifying the best performance configurations, understanding which utilities have an impact, and pinpointing tools that may pose challenges for servers or other systems. This is crucial for comprehending data performance and protecting the efficiency of both databases and systems.

It would be beneficial if they could offer the functionality of planned DV patches linked with support. A one-click user agreement could apply these patches to the most appropriate addresses. While not a major update, rather a small package like from 19.13 to 19.14, it would be great in keeping the customer database up to date.

The solution is stable. I’ve not faced any issue.

This is a challenging question. About the support team, some individuals respond promptly and effectively. However, there are also cases where solving the problem independently rather than waiting for a reply is more efficient. So, I've had both positive and negative experiences with support.

If you are familiar with Oracle products and can understand the documentation provided by Oracle, there shouldn't be any difficulties with initial setup.

It falls in the middle when it comes to cost—it's neither expensive nor cheap, particularly in the context of mitigation.

I recommend checking the performance of systems like understanding what's happening in databases, servers, and other environments, and assessing the number of environments and server needs. You should explore the entire service. If you have all the right tools and knowledge, it's good for you.

Overall, I rate the solution a six on ten. It's great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases, performance tunings, and performance advisory. However, its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less.

I use Oracle EMCC for comprehensive management of our Oracle environments. It is like our enterprise project portal for construction projects. We plan the project with an Enterprise Project Structure and a Work Breakdown Structure. Under the WBS, we create tasks. Once tasks are completed, data is updated at both the WBS and project levels. EMCC helps us schedule, track progress, and maintain records, making it crucial for managing projects in the construction and IT industries.

The most valuable feature of Oracle EMCC is its flexibility to manage various industries, projects, and tasks. It allows for both manual and dependency-based task management, similar to Microsoft Project. However, EMCC is Project Management Institute compliant, providing a robust solution for planners and engineers.

One area where Oracle EMCC could improve is file import flexibility. Currently, it supports only MSP and XML files, limiting the types of files that can be imported. Despite this, I find the application highly useful for both IT and construction industries, and I have confidence that any limitations can be addressed in future updates.

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

Oracle's technical support has been helpful for me. After obtaining the SI number, logging into Oracle Support is easy. You can then raise any concerns or issues, and the support team is responsive in addressing them.

The initial setup of Oracle EMCC is relatively straightforward. You can easily access installation guides online, especially for EPPM.

Price-wise, if you deliver Oracle EMCC to other parties, start with the basic EPPM tool. This covers essential features for project management, planning, and cost control. It is a good starting point for effective project delivery without unnecessary complexities.

For someone using Oracle EMCC for the first time, my advice would be to start with the planning team. Whether you are in construction or IT, create a project and define the WBS or tasks. For construction, it could be activities like document submission, procurement, and engineering tasks. In IT, it might involve development, testing, and bug fixes. EMCC is a versatile tool for project and portfolio management, offering Gantt charts for timeline visualization and cost control features. Utilize its planning capabilities to manage projects efficiently, track progress, and control costs effectively.

Overall, I would rate Oracle EMCC as a solid ten. It is an excellent, integrable planning tool suitable for projects of all sizes. Its central management, multiple baseline capabilities, and constant updates make it stand out.

Oracle Enterprise offers a wide range of use cases. For instance, it enables me to monitor interest rates and deploy all components under Oracle Management's control. This encompasses tasks such as configuring databanks or integration. Its broad functionality allows for consolidating diverse products into one platform, making managing challenging due to its extensive scope.

After connecting within the company, you can work in a unified environment. During upgrades or patches, there's no need to log into different systems; everything is accessible and supported through Enterprise Manager.

When we encounter issues, we reach out for support. The support team can efficiently address the problem and offer a viable solution. Compared to other providers like IBM, Oracle's response time is high. However, their support team is accessible and evaluates issues diligently. There could be improvements, particularly in reducing response times.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
