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

"The most valuable feature is the dashboard, which allows us to manage the entire infrastructure from the console."
"This is a good product and I recommend it."
"It is a smart system management tool that enables businesses to manage their operations more effectively."
"Overall as a management tool to see a complete overview of the entire HP hardware infrastructure, this is an excellent tool."
"The managing and monitoring are the solution's most valuable features, and they are something I find quite helpful in my work."
"This solution has improved our organization through the provision of efficient resource utilization and capacity planning."
"The interface is in continuous development and improves version by version."
"I think it's stable and flexible, and it's secure too."
"It's the most reliable database available on the market."
"It has improved significantly our monitoring and tuning of our databases."
"I would recommend that you try OEM, it can monitor many different products and it has been well designed."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps me investigate and extract what the issue is, rather than just observing the Oracle environment."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"The ability to identify performance bottlenecks and make an immediate impact can serve as a significant contribution to Database Administers which saves time and resources."
"Technical support responds quickly."
"I would recommend learning and using OEM right away; it will cut down the time put in by DBAs a lot by using OEM."
 

Cons

"Our customers would like to see the price lowered."
"The agents don't always connect and communicate very well with the server."
"The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Good system management is costly."
"The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved."
"The return on investment report is too difficult to understand."
"I think that support integration could be improved."
"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 storage system monitoring is really a little basic. They just give the symptoms, not the solutions."
"It should be more scalable, because only for the database can we have the backup source standardized."
"There are a lot of options; it takes time. I don't see anything like a dashboard or something similar."
"The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure."
"It could be faster; sometimes it takes a while to make the connection. Sometimes, it's complicated, too."
"We've had a lot of struggles patching automation. There's no good log file that you can debug."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has invested 30,00,000 USD in the product."
"The support is yearly-based and the license is permanent."
"The price of this product is fair."
"The license was included when we purchased the server."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"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."
"The solution is free."
"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."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"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."
