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 product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"I would recommend Oracle Enterprise Manager to others."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager has been the preventive reporting capability."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"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."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
