Helps design blueprints in a cloud environment but the support is a major problem
One of the major problems is that support is not so good. I used to have a support expert in Spain but they left two years ago. BMC doesn't invest a lot in network automation but network automation is a major point in CLM. There aren't any experts here in Europe, maybe they have in America, I don't know. The main problem is the support in Europe. We had a lot of problems with the people who got put on our cases. The agents that we were assigned to were not so capable. They wanted to replicate the problem. If you have an incident, it takes a lot of time to troubleshoot the problem. The incident support is not so good. The technicians don't know the platform well. BMC doesn't want to invest in CLM. Two years ago we had a lot of problems. Maybe BMC realized that CLM is an end of life product.

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

"Supports unattended installs and image-based, script-based, or template-based provisioning."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"Total build time has been reduced from four weeks to one week, then later to 24 hours."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"You can tie together your public and private cloud infrastructure into a "single pane of glass"."
"Assesses change impact or completes an audit using multiple dashboard views."
"We have many regions where more than 10000 servers are deployed, so it helps in patching and hardening of servers."
"There are lot of features in this product that I like, among them are that RMAN backup jobs can be created, and that all the database instances can be monitored from one place."
"I use the solution for troubleshooting."
"Compared to other monitoring products, the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications."
"Real-time SQL, performance monitoring and SQL Tuning Advisor are the features that I use the most."
"It’s impressive how much better Oracle 13c is, how much improved it is over Oracle Grid Control 10."
"The solution helps database tuning through query ID and SQL ID; we can fine-tune skill parameters and gather information to enhance operational analysis and performance."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has been really useful for our organisation."
"The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases."
 

Cons

"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"Going to BMC for PS is not at all recommended from my experience."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"It was complex as it does not include a good, extensive feasibility and compatibility guide."
"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."
"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."
"They do not feel relaxed using EM Cloud Control for those subjects."
"I have registered a testing Microsoft SQL Server environment, but I did not find it very useful (it cannot be used as an alternative or as SQL Server Management Studio)."
"Because all our banking infrastructure is based on Oracle, I’ve tried to register Enterprise Manager on the middleware level, let's say, WebLogic applications. But I cannot say that I can do all the administration from Enterprise Manager, that I can do from the WebLogic Admin Console. So, I think here it needs some improvement: Things that you can do on the WebLogic Admin Console, you should be able to do them on the Enterprise Manager, so you don’t have to log into the Admin Console."
"​Oracle Data Guard monitoring: There are no alerts for redo log transport failure.​"
"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"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."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
