Senior Oracle Database Administrator at ISFP
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

"By implementing remote journals, we have put the load on the target system as opposed to the source."
"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."
"Provides high degree of comfort regarding High Availability (HA)."
"Complete/custom machine real-time replication process (including apply and verification of destination)."
"We were able to perform major system maintenance on our production system after performing a switch or production role swap."
"The replication portion of the solution is perfect."
"No system downtime High Availability (HA)."
"Customer Service: Excellent; their team is very knowledgeable and responsive."
"I like that it's stable."
"What used to take hours to solve a problem can be done in a matter of minutes."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"For any organization that wants a reliable or secure system, this is the product to go with."
"With standardized monitoring templates and incident rule sets, we are able to consistently monitor, manage and alert all DBAs in each group to the same level SLA for our customer's needs."
"If you run Oracle Products from Oracle OVM, Oracle Database, Web Logic, etc. Oracle Enterprise Manager is by far the best way to provide a single console and monitoring and alerting solution."
"Enterprise Manager comes with a suite of products that includes agents for setup, making it easier to monitor databases as well as servers and SANs."
"Initial installation of 12c OEM is convenient and straightforward."
 

Cons

"OS version compatibility needs work."
"Replication of the IBM i spooled files and files on the IFS system (Windows-like environment). About 1/2 the time, we have to nudge the system a bit to get the file(s) over."
"The monitoring part of MIMIX - VSP (Vision Solutions Portal) needs some improvements."
"Could make it easier to fix object errors."
"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."
"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."
"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."
"The product dashboard that comes with the product could use some work."
"I would probably like to see more plug-ins to manage even more heterogeneous types of resources."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"Enterprise Manager is not easy or for the faint of heart. It is extremely robust, and hence very complicated to set up and maintain."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"It can be a process hog sometimes."
"It should be more scalable, because only for the database can we have the backup source standardized."
"With any Oracle protocol, and Enterprise Manager is one of them, as far as the interface is concerned, it's not good and is still pretty ugly."
"Every release, they seem to move the navigation and you have to retrain your entire DBA staff."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The product is highly-priced."
