Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"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."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"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 solution is free."
"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."
