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

"By allowing end users to request their own services, the request process for systems is much quicker and more accurate."
"It's helped us with our automation."
"Total build time has been reduced from four weeks to one week, then later to 24 hours."
"Automates Java EE Application Deployment from an SCM system."
"CLM has a multi-cloud portal because they have the resources to implement in various environments in various ports."
"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."
"Integrates role-based access control with pre-configured policies for CIS, DISA, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, NIST, and SCAP documentation and remediation."
"The solution is reliable."
"If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."
"The solution offers a good amount of stability and reliability."
"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."
"It’s impressive how much better Oracle 13c is, how much improved it is over Oracle Grid Control 10."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has been really useful for our organisation."
"Real-time SQL, performance monitoring and SQL Tuning Advisor are the features that I use the most."
"The solution provides very useful insights for application and database performance tuning, and we were able to do away with guess work in determining where the bottlenecks were in application performance."
 

Cons

"Going to BMC for PS is not at all recommended from my experience."
"Needs integrations with other providers to provide a custom public cloud environment."
"It was complex as it does not include a good, extensive feasibility and compatibility guide."
"One of the major problems is that support is not so good."
"The installation and configuration can be tricky due to it being built on Remedy."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is quite complex. In general, the product is complex; they need to simplify it and make it lighter."
"Another point that can be improved is the agent instability in the monitored hosts, because sometimes an agent has to be resynchronized to recapture the information."
"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"One area where Oracle EMCC could improve is file import flexibility."
"What it does, it does well, but it's so complex."
