The support from Microsoft Azure is good.
I rate technical support as excellent because we have not experienced many problems when calling for assistance.
When contacting My Oracle Support, I encounter first-line support initially, which is inadequate as I require more in-depth support.
I would rate Oracle Enterprise Manager's technical support at an eight.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Microsoft Azure excels in scalability and flexibility, supporting various workloads, though cost and limitations may concern some users.
Sentiment score
7.4
Oracle Enterprise Manager offers effective vertical and horizontal scaling, managing targets well with occasional challenges in larger configurations.
The scalability of Microsoft Azure is excellent for growth and adaptation, depending on company requirements.
Microsoft Azure is not just one product; it is a platform with multiple products within Microsoft Azure, and I would say it is scalable and would rate it a nine.
Scalability with Microsoft Azure is amazing, which is a primary reason for using cloud solutions.
When trying to connect with non-Oracle products and applications, the connection process is not very straightforward.

Sentiment score
7.4
Oracle Enterprise Manager is praised for stability and performance, despite occasional upgrade and connectivity issues, scoring highly on reliability.
Microsoft Azure is quite stable, but recent outages and security issues have slightly decreased my confidence.
We have not faced any challenges or difficulties with it.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Azure needs pricing transparency, intuitive interface, improved support, better technical features, and refined management tools for users.
Users seek improvements in Oracle Enterprise Manager's usability, integration, scalability, performance, and AI integration to address current challenges.
There is still room for improvement in terms of pricing.
The administrative side is suitable for technical people, but our finance and HR super users find it less user-friendly, as they prefer drag-and-drop features to build their own solutions without contacting IT.
We cannot progress without artificial intelligence because technology is moving in that direction, and we should adapt to be in line with those developments.
Adding AI features for automated replies or helpdesk support would improve Oracle Enterprise Manager.
Currently, it works better and has more stability. It crashes less frequently, which provides a better experience.
Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Azure offers flexible, competitive pricing, yet complexity makes AWS and GCP potentially more cost-effective for enterprises.
Oracle Enterprise Manager can be costly, especially for small businesses, due to advanced feature fees and processor-based licensing.
Microsoft solutions might be cheaper than some services like AWS, but some solutions may be more expensive depending on the services compared.
Copilot is expensive based on recent pricing for our POC.
Regarding the pricing for Microsoft Azure services, I would rate our satisfaction as very good.
I would rate the pricing of Oracle Enterprise Manager as very expensive, definitely deserving a 10 out of 10.
In terms of pricing, Oracle Enterprise Manager is on the premium side compared to other monitoring tools.
The licensing is based on the core.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Azure offers flexibility, scalability, global presence, integration, security, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness for enhanced organizational infrastructure.
Oracle Enterprise Manager centralizes management, enhances monitoring, automates scaling, and improves IT productivity with customizable performance and alert features.
Power BI, another feature of Azure, is extremely elegant and has robust features that support forecasting using R and Python.
Data integrations are particularly effective on Microsoft Azure, especially with our banner services that we automate through Power Automate.
The scalability of Microsoft Azure is very good for growing and adapting to company requirements.
The tool allows us to monitor 24/7, configure dashboards, and quickly check the status of databases that are in critical states.
One of the most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager has been the preventive reporting capability.
It also has features like the AWR report, which helps analyze resource usage during specific times.

Integrates various functionalities and have good documentation but have high pricing
Cosmos DB offered better scalability. In Azure SQL, we had to carefully manage the storage tier, switching back and forth based on needs. But when we first implemented Cosmos DB, we had a good understanding of the required data volume over the past three months. This helped us select the appropriate tier because we had those figures. If we had done it the other way around, it would have been much harder to estimate the data accurately. While you can get a rough idea, whether it works out in practice is more of a hit-and-miss approach, which we have already experienced with Cosmos DB. We applied the knowledge gained from that exercise to build a similar solution over Azure SQL. On the DevOps side, our team consisted of five members, ranging from senior to junior roles. We would raise requests for specific services needed in the development environment. The process typically takes three to five business days, including all necessary approvals, from submitting the request to receiving the resources and verifying access.
