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

"It has helped us cut down process time and manpower."

"By implementing remote journals, we have put the load on the target system as opposed to the source."

"Provides high degree of comfort regarding High Availability (HA)."

"From the simplest to the most complex environments, and with millions of transactions, MIMIX can adapt to any environment."

"We were able to perform major system maintenance on our production system after performing a switch or production role swap."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."

"In case we have an emergency or a sudden issue on the production system, we can put our point of sale terminals in local mode for 1 hour, switch over to the backup system, verify that all is running OK, then the POS systems can reconnect, and our users can sign on again and continue working."

"We used it solely for IBM AS400 replication for disaster recovery/failover purposes."

More MIMIX [EOL] pros

"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."

"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."

"For any Enterprise edition database customer, I highly recommend that they should implement OEM and at a minimum purchase license for Diagnostic and Tuning pack for database."

"I recommend Oracle solutions like T5 Super-Cluster, T5-8 and Oracle Solaris 11 operating systems, as they are highly scalable and fault-tolerant systems."

"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps me investigate and extract what the issue is, rather than just observing the Oracle environment."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."

"Warnings and alerts are sent to the primary DBA. Primary DBAs address the alerts in a timely manner, instead of waiting for it to become an issue."

Cons

"Could make it easier to fix object errors."

"The solution could use better dashboards for new users. They can look complicated until you get used to using the solution."

"Monitoring tools can be improved but are very useful already."

"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."

"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."

"Customer support is good but they do try to squeeze out those service dollars."

"Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."

"Replication errors need to be resolved."

More MIMIX [EOL] cons

"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."

"It comes with some monitoring bugs, which once reported to Oracle support is always solved."

"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products. This would add value, for us, because as it is now, we have to go to different screens to check different products."

"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."

"I would like to see Oracle address the multi-data center monitoring and management in a more seamless way where management services are easily spread across the data centers like they can be today, but address the single database repository that can only exist in one data center at a time."

"I think with the documentation there could be improvements."

"Customer service: Fair, when needed."

"Still, there are lot of improvements that need to take place."
