A user friendly solution that makes it easy to submit and view jobs
The most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user-friendly the solution is. Traditionally, when we use a mainframe system to submit jobs, we have to see the spool or any error we might get in the spool. It is very command-based and uses a green screen, which is not user-friendly. Micro Focus enterprise makes it easy to submit and view jobs. We just have to log into the particular portal, go to the catalog and view any files we want. The same can be said about submitting jobs. We know what JCL we want to submit, give it the path, and then submit it with no command required. It is very user-friendly.

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

"Scalability is the most valuable feature to us."
"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."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of Micro Focus Cloud Service is how user friendly the solution is."
"The tool's most valuable feature is life cycle management."
"I believe that one of the most valuable resources this tool has is the ability to check offending processes, which are burdening the hardware resources, and to generate advice quickly that can improve a query's performance."
"If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."
"It’s impressive how much better Oracle 13c is, how much improved it is over Oracle Grid Control 10."
"With the last version I worked with, we can perform auto-configuration to resolve issues for the database, such as automatically adding space when a tablespace runs low."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is the reporting."
"I use the solution for troubleshooting."
"Oracle support is always good."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"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 haven't found very user friendly things, some are a little tricky."
"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."
"OpenText Cloud Service Automation needs to incorporate easier installation. It should improve skills and quality of support."
"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"The response time of the solution's technical support team is too long and should be improved."
"What it does, it does well, but it's so complex."
"We did encounter some stability issues but many of them were fixed."
"It's crucial to promptly resolve agent-related issues to ensure continuous and accurate monitoring of database features within the Oracle Enterprise Manager."
"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."
"No system works well."
"The product lacks in the area of database, making it an area where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OpenText Cloud Service Automation's pricing is average."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"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."
