Offers reliability and helps with the virtualization part
The product integrates with our company's existing IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to MicroK8s and other on-premises servers. The tool also helps with the virtualization in the ecosystem of our company, where there are other tools from HPE. Performance and network optimization are some of the beneficial areas in terms of server management. Speaking about how the remote management ability of the product impacted our company's IT operations, I would say that my organization has dealt with areas like RDP, DDI, and DMC, depending on the requirements of our final customers. In my experience, the product has contributed four hours in terms of reliability and to ensure the uptime of our servers. When it comes to the day-to-day use of HPE System Management's interface, I would say that it connects with some of the best tools and Hyper-V console with the help of Microsoft. I recommended the solution to those who plan to use it. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Performance issues have been identified and monitored effectively during peak hours
The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure. Oracle Enterprise Manager's handling of Grid Infrastructure needs some improvement. I want to see additional features in the future that deal with security in relation to Oracle Grid Infrastructure. I want to improve these two components.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy with the help of the framework consisting of Microsoft Azure."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager provides complete, integrated solutions to achieve the level of business service quality required of enterprise applications, tools for managing configuration, performance and availability, and when combined with other management packs and plug-ins, it provides the means to achieve end-to-end management of the entire application infrastructure."
"Can easily visualize bottlenecks in database performance tuning with historical graph trends; whereas before it would be based upon manually tuning using scripts which are text based."
"I think the fact that I can manage all of our infrastructure, all the hardware and software, from one place which makes it very useful."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"My advice to others is Oracle Enterprise Manager is a stable and scalable enterprise compared to the other similar solutions."
"It's user friendly."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
 

Cons

"Good system management is costly."
"If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"BI Publisher integration; EM CLI commands."
"Sometimes it will take some time to open forms, so I feel it should be a little bit faster."
"It can be a process hog sometimes."
"Easier to read. For example, on the home page of information, under Adm, that should be a little bit easier to read."
"Metrics settings could be improved to be more intuitive. Installation process could be easier."
"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."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"It's expensive."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
