A robust product to deal with application performance enhancemen

It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. There are no issues once you install the application, and it works smoothly, meaning there are no issues related to onboarding the application according to a user's chosen profile. I have done the onboarding for more than 1,500 middleware products. There are different kinds of users of the product in our company, but the application itself has 1,500 middleware products. The solution is used on a daily basis, meaning it is used twenty-four hours and seven days a week. There are no plans to increase the use of the solution in our company.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Of course, that you can manage and create the backup strategies from a central environment for all your environments, so you don’t have to do so on each database. You can set up the policy you want for each database, but you do it from a central environment."

"Once this solution is configured, it will help administrators centralize their management of the environment."

"The solution provides very useful insights for application and database performance tuning. We were able to do away with guess work in determining where the bottlenecks were in application performance."

"The solution is reliable."

"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."

"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."

"The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control pros

"The multi-tenancy feature has been very helpful for our clients. It has been working fine and seamlessly for them. Its interface is also very simplified, and it is also an open and easy-to-scale solution."

More Red Hat CloudForms pros

Cons

"Because this solution provides insight into all of the areas within the IT stack, it would benefit from enhancements in security."

"It is sometimes difficult to create configurations in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."

"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."

"While entering the database, there is some delay in viewing the data on the page called SQL monitoring, which reviews live statistics about the current and live queries on the database."

"They need to simplify it and make it lighter."

"The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows."

"The product lacks in the area of database, making it an area where improvements are required."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control cons

"The problem is that the platform requires it to be maintained and updated. Also, a few cases are still pending with the Red Hat support team since they are not closed yet."

"Red Hat CloudForms could improve by allowing more customization of reports. We have to do a lot of coding to accomplish what we want. Additionally, the compatibility with the multi-cloud could improve. The latter versions of the solution removed Google support and the cost comparison between other clouds was high."

"All of the areas of Red Hat CloudForms could improve. It doesn't do half of the things that it says it can do out of the box. It takes configuration to make any of it work, which is not uncommon for solutions similar to this. However, it is frustrating."

"Our clients had challenges or issues with the updates. Its updates should be better managed. They should provide quicker and more stable updates. Its stability can also be better. We initially faced ease-of-use and compatibility issues while integrating it. We had a lot of compatibility issues with other products. Our clients are concerned about whether it is under IBM or it is still Red Hat. Clients are not very clear about the support, and they're not really happy with it. Currently, they're getting support from Red Hat, but going forward, they're not really clear about what would be the life cycle of the product, which is a concern for them."

"It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs."

"I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions."

"The complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to VMware."

"The solution is still quite immature."

More Red Hat CloudForms cons

"it's neither expensive nor cheap."

"The solution's pricing is fine."

"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."

"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."

"We are using the free version. We are not using any licensed packages of Enterprise Manager, so I’m not quite sure how much each package is. As I understand it, there are different plug-ins that you need to buy for Enterprise Manager."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
