Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""I would say that the initial thing is that it provides us with a technological basis to expand capacity management beyond Excel.""The ability to increase server density inside of my environment, which has helped me drive reduction in costs.""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 Control Console is an incredible way to give a quick view of current capacity utilization allowing technical people to drill down quickly and allowing business/management people to get a quick overview of the environment.""The Densify Control Console, and Environment Status.""The solution's tech support is excellent.""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."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control gives us diverse monitoring capability that can be extremely powerful.""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.""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.""The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases.""We have been satisfied with technical support.""Another feature is the Resource Manager, where we can manage the consumption of resources of certain queries, separately in resource groups. Depending on the characteristics of the query, queries can be placed in groups that consume less database and hardware resources.""The capability to manage incidents, monitor agent statuses, and address performance issues is highly valuable.""The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."

Cons
"A closer integration to the service management processes.""Normalization of CPU utilization is required. At present, the data is available based on entitlement level.""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.""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.""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.""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.""The solution's stability is the primary concern for me."

More Densify Cons →

"Because this solution provides insight into all of the areas within the IT stack, it would benefit from enhancements in security.""You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console.""While entering the database, there is some delay in viewing the data on the page called SQL monitoring, which reviews live statistics about the current and live queries on the database.""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.​""Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI.""The product does have room for improvement in patch management.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Setup cost is negligible, as it scales fairly well."
  • "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."
  • "There was some sticker shock, as this is not just another software product to spit out graphs."
  • More Densify Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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 licensing costs are largely too high."
  • "Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
  • "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."
  • "The tool's pricing is competitive."
  • "Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
  • "Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
