Featured Reviews

Muhammad Imran Ali Jan - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly scalable and stable tool that provides good technical support and enables users to manage and optimize resources
The product was handed over to us with pre-installed configurations. We just mounted our server in the rack and enabled the connectivity. The initial setup was quite easy to manage. We are using a private cloud to optimize our hospital management system. We have discussed with the vendor the solution's scalability from private to public cloud for our future needs. All the infrastructure was installed within 15 days.
Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
A robust product to deal with application performance enhancemen
It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. There are no issues once you install the application, and it works smoothly, meaning there are no issues related to onboarding the application according to a user's chosen profile. I have done the onboarding for more than 1,500 middleware products. There are different kinds of users of the product in our company, but the application itself has 1,500 middleware products. The solution is used on a daily basis, meaning it is used twenty-four hours and seven days a week. There are no plans to increase the use of the solution in our company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is helpful for the management, optimization, and utilization of resources."
"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access."
"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."
"When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."
"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."
"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."
"The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."
"The tool's most valuable feature is notifications. It is also flexible in defining metrics where you can specify any metric type. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control helps monitor the resources you manage so that you do not overpay."
"The tool is mainly for monitoring databases, especially focusing on performance. It supports various databases, including Oracle, allowing daily activity monitoring. The solution enables displaying performance metrics, providing continuous tracking. It also offers management capabilities for connected databases, featuring graphical performance graphs. Users can perform tasks like killing sessions and controlling database elements. Additionally, it allows viewing tables, SAN disks, and other database components."
"The capability to manage incidents, monitor agent statuses, and address performance issues is highly valuable."
"The valuable feature is job scheduling. It manages the database's scheduling, history, and growth, helping monitor CPU and space usage across the entire data center. It provides a comprehensive view of operations."
"Advisors provide quick access to Insight and best practice information for performance tuning and configuration."
"Using Enterprise Manager, I was able to create user profiles for all the instances that have the same profile. Secondly, it's easier to manage performance, to automate the AWR reports to run every half an hour, or hour. Then, if you have a performance issue you just open the report and you can see what was running the last one hour, the SQL statements, or what was causing the performance issues."
 

Cons

"When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."
"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies."
"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs."
"There are quite a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."
"The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data."
"The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult."
"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."
"One of the things that can be improved is the quality of results generated by BI Publisher. They are somewhat confusing when it comes to analysis."
"It is sometimes difficult to create configurations in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"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 monitor other Oracle tools as well. It should also improve its pricing."
"When registering a host, only if your host is running Linux will you get all the information which is available on EM. It would be nice if in future releases to include IBM AIX (primarily)​ and Microsoft Windows (secondly)​."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very expensive."
"It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
"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."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
