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

"The valuable feature is job scheduling. It manages the database's scheduling, history, and growth, helping monitor CPU and space usage across the entire data center. It provides a comprehensive view of operations."

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

"The solution helps database tuning through query ID and SQL ID; we can fine-tune skill parameters and gather information to enhance operational analysis and performance."

"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."

"The report feature is very useful."

"I use the solution for troubleshooting."

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

"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control pros

"Red Hat CloudForms is stable once it is up and running."

"They are a very mature product."

"The solution is compatible and integrates with various infrastructures or providers."

"The stability of the solution is very good. We haven't had any issues with it."

"I am impressed with the product's ability to create dynamic catalogs."

"I am impressed with the product's reports."

"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."

"The most valuable features of Red Hat CloudForms are the benefit of the collective functionality."

More Red Hat CloudForms pros

Cons

"One area where Oracle EMCC could improve is file import flexibility."

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

"Because all our banking infrastructure is based on Oracle, I’ve tried to register Enterprise Manager on the middleware level, let's say, WebLogic applications. But I cannot say that I can do all the administration from Enterprise Manager, that I can do from the WebLogic Admin Console. So, I think here it needs some improvement: Things that you can do on the WebLogic Admin Console, you should be able to do them on the Enterprise Manager, so you don’t have to log into the Admin Console."

"The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult."

"The product does have room for improvement in patch management."

"Sometimes the alerts are coming a bit late, for example, an alert for the CPU. It depends on the threshold that you have, how long you want to check the CPU of the machine. I got some faulty alerts with Data Guard. I had stopped a synchronization for maintenance and then I re-synchronized Oracle Data Guard. It took some time to appear in Enterprise Manager and send me the right notification that Data Guard was up and running and synchronizing. I realized this because I went directly into the database to check the status of Data Guard, and it was telling me that it was running okay. But in Enterprise Manager, it needed some more time to update the interface."

"There is a lot of information required to deal with the vulnerabilities in the product on a timely basis, for which the documentation part is not available."

"The only negative thing about this product is that it doesn't support all environments or all applications."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control cons

"Because the solution needs to integrate with other products that surround it, there is a lot of configuration required, and this can be quite complex. It's not as easy as it is with, for example, VMware."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The solution is still quite immature."

"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."

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

More Red Hat CloudForms cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"One has to pay for the enterprise version."

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

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

"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."

"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."

"The tool's pricing is competitive."

"The licensing costs are largely too high."

"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."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control pricing and cost advice

"It is definitely cheaper than VMware. Everything is included. There is no challenge there."

"The product's licensing is based on the number of servers."

"The price of Red Hat CloudForms was not competitive, it was expensive."

"Red Hat CloudForms has a subscript-based pricing model. The cost is approximately $20,000 annually which allows you to use as many users as you want."

"Red Hat CloudForms is a bit expensive."
