Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Sometimes, I monitor the user's time of response and use this information to improve the number of servers on the back-end. Or, I can use it to change my back log for front-end developers and improve their response times. It's very important in this case because I can improve the experience of the final user.""The solution is good for sending alerts, drawing graphs about system usage, and creating plug-ins.""Working with the solution is very easy. It's user-friendly.""One valuable feature is that the synthetic alert stays open until the issue is resolved. You can actually monitor whether your system is back up.""The synthetics, alerts, and native inbuilt capabilities for monitoring the cloud with the New Relic agents have been helpful.""It is stable and scalable.""The best feature of New Relic is its simple look and feel, making it easier to use than other tools.""The pricing is pretty good."

"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases.""I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan.""The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature.""The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring.""It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution.""The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none.""Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product.""I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."

Cons
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help.""We would like to receive more AWS-specific details from the New Relic Dashboard, like EC2 health.""New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information.""I would like to have storage monitoring. E.g., being able to monitor SANS, specifically protocols, like NFS and CIFS metrics.""Documentation is one of the biggest things that I have a problem with since its documentation is not clear sometimes.""It is a serious tool and requires a lot of time invested in order to understand how it works.""New Relic needs to improve is the user data schema.""I would like an infrastructure network that provides real-time views, showing the issues."

More New Relic Cons →

"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome.""There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user.""Technical support could be faster.""The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement.""The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items.""I would like to see better pricing.""The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement.""The tool is expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "New Relic is either free with low retention and minimal functionalities, or expensive with full options and retention."
  • "The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
  • "Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
  • "It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
  • "If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
  • "I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
  • "There is a picture which goes to your browser and it monitors requests from other users. However, it's impossible to use now because the price is very high. The feature is very nice, but I tried it during the trial period, and the current price makes it impossible to use."
  • "They gave us aggressive discounts when they were brought in for the first time, but they have also kept them for the year-on-year renewals, which has been absolutely fine."
  • More New Relic Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
  • "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 basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
  • "The pricing is very high."
  • "We are satisfied with the pricing."
  • "There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
  • "Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
  • "Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Oracle Enterprise Manager stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its central management and monitoring and its reporting capabilities

    Robin C., head of Oracle Exadata Centre of Excellence at Tata Consultancy Services, writes, "The database performance monitoring features are very useful and allow us to quickly zero in on DB-related issues. Exadata storage server and Infiniband switches can be viewed from the GUI in OEM which cannot be done in other tools. The ability to deploy metric extensions makes this tool extensible for our custom monitoring also."

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A database manager at a tech services company notes, “The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics.  They have plug-ins that are very helpful. Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product. They have a very nice graphical user interface. The monitoring is good. We can capture the SQL tune from us. With Oracle Enterprise Managers, we can see the rich performance tuning.”
