Comes with life cycle management features but needs improvement in installation
The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management.  OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support.  I have been working with the product for three to five years.  I rate the product's stability an eight out of…

Extensive tool features support database monitoring, but support and pricing present challenges
I don't fully understand what improvements could be made in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ability to tie the pieces together, supporting multiple providers across both HPE and non-HPE products, is crucial in a heterogeneous environment composed of many different commercial and in-house developed components."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user-friendly the solution is."
"Scalability is the most valuable feature to us."
"We really look at infrastructure as a service as the major trend in IT, at least for a service provider like us, for the next 3 to 4 years, so we really want to have a precise, clearly defined, but very dynamic and flexible private cloud where we can easily provision and deploy infrastructure as a service to our end customers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."
"The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."
"The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user friendly the solution is."
"These products let us integrate multiple tools together and help to automate the processes by cutting down time and effort through the modules and reusable contents."
"SAP is a high-performance application, and we are able to use Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control to monitor and prevent bottlenecks."
"The product has made it possible to reduce the size of the performance team and still be able to correctly monitor all the databases and fix issues quickly, resulting in fewer downtimes."
"Compared to other monitoring products, the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications."
"OEM is invaluable in many ways, other products can replace bits of it - but the product should be used as a single point from which to view as much of your enterprise as possible."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has been really useful for our organisation."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has improved our organization in many ways: Before implementing this solution, the patching was done manually; now we do the same task with patching management, and before, we used to monitor every server every day, but now we don't have to monitor it because we have an in-place solution and we get alerts so we can proactively monitor every server before a problem happens on it."
"The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."
"The solution is reliable."
 

Cons

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support."
"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support."
"I’d like to see better monitoring visibility. We have to rely on HPE Technical Services to tell us when those challenges and problems occur."
"I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."
"I haven't found very user friendly things, some are a little tricky."
"Deployment has been extremely painful for the production environment. This was mostly due to the decision to use our internal Microsoft-based Certificate Authority (CA)."
"I would like fewer restrictions as a software tester."
"Another point that can be improved is the agent instability in the monitored hosts, because sometimes an agent has to be resynchronized to recapture the information."
"The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows."
"The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult."
"The product lacks in the area of database, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Yes, there are some bugs. Some of the screens sometimes do not load data, and sometimes the portal hangs."
"No system works well."
"One of the things that can be improved is the quality of results generated by BI Publisher. They are somewhat confusing when it comes to analysis."
"The configuration is not straightforward for web continuity. It needs some improvement and the deployment is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
