Technical support is okay, but it has issues with stability and performance
We have our own data center with a lot of servers running on the Linux platform This platform has issues with stability and performance. I have been using Oracle Coherence for only a couple of years. In total, I have about 30 years of experience in the Oracle environment. I began with Oracle…

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."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"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."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"The biggest benefit of using Oracle Enterprise Manager is its monitoring capability."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"When contacting My Oracle Support, I encounter first-line support initially, which is inadequate as I require more in-depth support."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's expensive."
"The product is very expensive."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"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."
