Featured Reviews

Amit Kantia - PeerSpot reviewer
Its most valuable feature is the ability to capture attributes in the console, but it is not a stable solution
I recommend others to use Densify. They can not only use it for reporting but for automation as well. They can implement the policies on the console easily during the build-out procedure. Stability is the primary concern to us as it is causing lots of problems. We can only make significant decisions if Densify allows us, and it takes lots of time. Thus, I rate the tool as a six out of ten.
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 tool will come back and tell us that we can operate with 1,000 minutes as an example, save 90% on the contractual rate and not run into any issues."
"The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status."
"The solution's tech support is excellent."
"Densify's ability to aggregate multiple on-premise vCenters and multiple cloud accounts, gives it a level of visibility not found in many places."
"The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs."
"I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel."
"One would be the automatic rebalancing of the environment. That was one feature which helped. With that, we could improve our efficiency of our VMware infrastructure."
"The Control Console provides a very easy to read dashboard of "too little/just right/too much" resources both for current data and on a historical or predictive basis."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control gives us diverse monitoring capability that can be extremely powerful."
"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."
"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."
"The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is the reporting."
"The capability to manage incidents, monitor agent statuses, and address performance issues is highly valuable."
"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."
"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

"Unfortunately the tools and mechanisms which really came to maturity in the cloud, and were not mainstream on-premise, are still not implemented."
"It seems that the mechanism for integration is, it goes so far but I think there could be some standard integration to normal remedy service now etc. I think that should be out of the box."
"Some parts of the interface are rather complex and require a bit of time to navigate, but this has never stopped us as a Densify advisor is readily available to help with our "how to" queries."
"The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."
"Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level."
"Initially we talked about some custom reporting, wherein our customer expected certain reports on a few areas, like how the storage is allocated, how the network performance is doing, and how the network utilization is happening for a virtual machine."
"In terms of integration, the tool has great data. However, it's not always meaningful because the true business attributes of how most Fortune 500 companies operate are not maintaining in one tool, they're in a school of many tools."
"A closer integration to the service management processes."
"The only negative thing about this product is that it doesn't support all environments or all applications."
"One area where Oracle EMCC could improve is file import flexibility."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."
"There is a lack from the point of view of monitoring on the system. The performance of the system and its resources are things that I think can be improved. There needs to be real-time monitoring available on the solution."
"The configuration is not straightforward for web continuity. It needs some improvement and the deployment is expensive."
"It is sometimes difficult to create configurations in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost is always involved, but then I feel that this solution is better than other products that we have."
"Densify has licensing setup so you can collect data without licensing. It gives you the ability to collect on everything, then choose later what you would like to license."
"Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
"There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"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."
"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."
