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.

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

"Apart from the fact that we are assured high availability and disaster recovery, we use this product for different purposes as well."

"I think it is the best, most robust and flexible product available."

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

"You can sleep without fear every night if MIMIX takes care of your data replication."

More MIMIX [EOL] pros

"The most valuable feature is its ability to integrate directly into S Space and move data, run business rules, run calculation scripts, and things like that."

Cons

"The systems overheads need improvement."

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

"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."

"The MQSeries replication part doesn't work smoothly, sometimes requiring more manual activity to ensure synch between live and backup."

"Replication errors need to be resolved."

"OS version compatibility needs work."

"I think that there should be a converged effort with IBM for faster remote journal entry reads when the remote journal is in "fire mode"."

More MIMIX [EOL] cons

"In a large organization with large number of targets, managing systems on an individual basis can be time consuming and difficult."

"The SQLrun sometimes does not work, and it crashes most of the time."

"The monitoring feature should be improved, so that it may be used as a dependable monitoring solution, as well as a deployment solution for SPARC-based hardware and operating systems."

"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."

"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's very expensive."

"Enterprise Manager is not easy or for the faint of heart. It is extremely robust, and hence very complicated to set up and maintain."

"Customer Service: 2 out of 5. I often choose to open an SR as a last resort."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"The solution is free."

"The product is very expensive."

"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."

"The license is good but can be improved."

"The pricing is very high."

"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
