Extensive functionality impresses despite occasional setup complexity
The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable. Now it has become a significantly improved product. We have integrated identity management, and we are using it for normal database examination, tuning, and performance. We are working with STATSPACK and similar tools that are integrated in Oracle Enterprise Manager. We are currently working with version 13.5, having upgraded from 13.4 last year. Automation is useful for improving operational efficiency, and there are many more opportunities to automate outside the databases. Not many things need to be automated inside the databases. We have jobs running, imports, exports, and similar tasks. To automate these processes, we utilize the Scheduler from Oracle, which is managed in the databases by the vendor. This is not part of our DBA functions in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"Monitoring of the database is the most valuable feature, because we want to know what's going on there."
"I like the reports of Enterprise Manager, as you have a lot of targets and can create generic reports based on some metrics of those targets, which allows me to have some sort of place to check all my targets."
"The Lifecycle Management Pack for Enterprise Manager has allowed the organization to have an almost real-time view of security and compliance across every single database within the estate."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a single pane of control that gives you the visibility to see all Oracle products, plus the non-Oracle products; hardware, software, middleware."
"In my opinion, without Enterprise Manager no DBA can do their job."
"Using this product makes our integration process more easy and seamless."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"One of the drawbacks that I don't like is, quite often you'll see that the agent will show a status of Pending."
"We have used technical support many times; it is very bad."
"It could improve in some areas like the screen. It's not so clear for the novice, when a new person looks at the screen he/she may not really understand where to start first."
"I would like to have more details and privileges. I would say more grantable and obtainable privileges are needed."
"The technical support is not always 100% up to the mark or sometimes not as we expect it to be."
"It is mostly stable, but we have found some issues when we are having resource contention or CPU issues."
"When contacting My Oracle Support, I encounter first-line support initially, which is inadequate as I require more in-depth support."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
"The product is very expensive."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"It's expensive."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
