Simplifies RAID computation and technical support resolves issues effectively
The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system. If we encounter any sort of issue, we can troubleshoot the problem with the assistance of the Lenovo technical team. Sometimes, we do not receive complaints from the controller. We also receive software issue resolutions by managing the process with the assistance of the Lenovo technical team.

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.

Pros

"The Lenovo configuration tool helps us with the computation of the RAID Controller and the installation of the operating system."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to provide insights into server status and alerts."
"The most valuable feature of Lenovo XClarity is the ease of use because of the interface browser that is highly compatible and it has mobile web management."
"The remote management capability was also good."
"I would rate Lenovo XClarity Controller ten out of ten."
"My advice to others is this is the best solution for server management on the market."
"We use this solution to monitor the server, looking at the system, and maintaining it."
"It's very insightful when it comes to what you can check healthwise on a database."
"In my opinion, without Enterprise Manager no DBA can do their job."
"We have setup dashboards for the SMT (Senior Management Team) to give them a traffic light system on a very high level – enough for them to know that all systems are up and available"
"We actively monitor the databases and can get ahead of any issues."
"I would recommend that you try OEM, it can monitor many different products and it has been well designed."
"Database performance monitoring, dashboards, databases management and Dataguard setup and monitoring are the features that I like the most."
"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."
 

Cons

"It worked very slowly. It was not well on performance."
"Lenovo XClarity can improve the dashboard integration. For example, graphs could be better. Additionally, more integration with other vendors is needed. For example, VMware has integration with a lot of vendors."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller. However, software issues are managed and processed with the help of the Lenovo technical team, and they sort them out."
"They could enable notifications on emails and phones regarding control panel information."
"Sometimes we do not receive the complaint from the Controller."
"The reports are very busy."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"It is mostly stable, but we have found some issues when we are having resource contention or CPU issues."
"Performance tuning tools need improvement."
"We have used technical support many times; it is very bad."
"The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"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 license is good but can be improved."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"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."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
