Data Engineer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Facilitating real-time business insights with enhanced data querying
Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation. These features facilitate querying data with multiple keys rather than just a single key. Its real-time data processing capabilities provide insights for business decisions with up-to-date information.

Contact Administrator at A.S. Watson Group
Monitors databases and applications efficiently with timely alerts
The most valuable features are the monitoring capabilities and how it provides time-to-time alerts, which are very beneficial. It is particularly helpful in providing alerts for tablespace issues or when databases or applications cross certain thresholds. The tool allows us to monitor 24/7, configure dashboards, and quickly check the status of databases that are in critical states. This saves time and enhances productivity.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps me investigate and extract what the issue is, rather than just observing the Oracle environment."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"It's user friendly."
"The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"It's expensive."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"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."
