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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is highly-priced."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"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."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
