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

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."
"I find it nice that OEM provides a graphical way to manage both our database and E-Business Suite."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"I like the performance tuning features, particularly since it gives me a good glimpse of what has been happening."
"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."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"We increased our capacity and speed of detection, diagnose and resolution of database issues."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
 

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"BI Publisher integration; EM CLI commands."
"It's expensive. We are paying on a yearly basis, but we are currently negotiating for a new license."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"For databases and servers with high blocking issues, the monitoring and graphs in OEM frequently became so overloaded that they could not be used and would not load, making OEM useless for troubleshooting certain production issues."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"UI is the part that I like to see improved in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is reasonable."

"The pricing is very high."
"It's expensive."
