Optimizes cloud strategies with security and cost insights
Trusted Advisor offers features that provide inside information for the entire account, including identifying security gaps and offering cost optimization insights. The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company. It is especially beneficial for larger companies, as the tool provides a comprehensive view of account security, open ports, buckets, and offers recommendations for protection.

technical Manager at DBA Expert Consulting
Extensive tool features support database monitoring, but support and pricing present challenges
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The Security Advisor is the most valuable feature. It instantly informs you about any system misconfigurations, and the best part is, it's completely free."
"The recommendation feature is really good."
"I would give it a ten out of ten."
"The cost optimization features are valuable."
"The key features include security recommendations, cost optimization, and various packages to choose from, depending on the size of the company."
"I strongly recommend using Trusted Advisor due to its role in cybersecurity, providing cost-effective solutions compared to external companies."
"Trusted Advisor scans the complete infrastructure within the account, providing a consolidated view of all services in use."
"AWS Trusted Advisor is a tool that we can use to optimize the AWS infrastructure cost."
"One of the clearest examples is the agility of discovering processes/sessions that are burdening the database environment. With this agility, the DBA can more quickly verify this type of problem, in addition to checking locked sessions and not having to do several searches in views and tables of the data dictionary. The tool already does this for you in an agile way."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control gives us diverse monitoring capability that can be extremely powerful."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is the reporting."
"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."
"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."
"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."
"The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases."
 

Cons

"For EC2 instances, we need to install the AWS CloudWatch agent to get the memory metric because we don't have a by-default memory utilization graph on cost optimization."
"The integration between Trusted Advisor and Security Hub sometimes lacks, and I need a way to ensure things come through there."
"I'd like the solution to support clouds beyond AWS."
"The tenancy must be free for all metrics."
"Cost is a significant factor that needs improvement. Reducing the cost would make it more beneficial for all users."
"Maybe adding more security rules would be great."
"Trusted Advisor currently scans the whole system, including development, staging, and QA environments, which increases costs."
"Cost is a significant factor that needs improvement."
"The installation steps are very complex and the documentation for them is very generic and does not make very clear the correct steps from the installation to the addition of the host and database."
"It is sometimes difficult to create configurations in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to monitor other Oracle tools as well. It should also improve its pricing."
"The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult."
"I've had both positive and negative experiences with support. Its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."
"Sometimes the alerts are coming a bit late, for example, an alert for the CPU. It depends on the threshold that you have, how long you want to check the CPU of the machine. I got some faulty alerts with Data Guard. I had stopped a synchronization for maintenance and then I re-synchronized Oracle Data Guard. It took some time to appear in Enterprise Manager and send me the right notification that Data Guard was up and running and synchronizing. I realized this because I went directly into the database to check the status of Data Guard, and it was telling me that it was running okay. But in Enterprise Manager, it needed some more time to update the interface."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Trusted Advisor offers various packages, with the most comprehensive costing $15,000 per month."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"We are using the free version. We are not using any licensed packages of Enterprise Manager, so I’m not quite sure how much each package is. As I understand it, there are different plug-ins that you need to buy for Enterprise Manager."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
