Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 17, 2024

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and Red Hat CloudForms compete in the cloud management category. Oracle has the upper hand in feature richness, while Red Hat excels in integration and compatibility with open-source tools.

Features: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control offers comprehensive monitoring of databases and applications, real-time SQL performance tracking, and efficient infrastructure management. Red Hat CloudForms provides strong integration with open-source tools, seamless cloud management, and a dynamic catalog creation feature valuable for users.

Room for Improvement: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control could improve by enhancing browser compatibility, simplifying installation, and integrating better with non-Oracle products. Red Hat CloudForms needs more stable updates, easier integrations, and customizable reports, expanding support for major cloud services.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control supports hybrid and private cloud environments but receives mixed reviews on deployment ease. Red Hat CloudForms compatibility spans public and hybrid clouds, though users face implementation challenges and require time for issue resolution.

Gyanesh Rahatekar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."
"It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has an amazing GUI interface that does a lot of tasks with fewer steps rather than making it manual on the database or the operating system side."
"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle EMCC is its flexibility to manage various industries, projects, and tasks."
"The solution is reliable."
"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 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.​"
More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control pros
"I am impressed with the product's reports."
"The stability of the solution is very good. We haven't had any issues with it."
"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 solution is compatible and integrates with various infrastructures or providers."
"I am impressed with the product's ability to create dynamic catalogs."
"Red Hat CloudForms is stable once it is up and running."
"The most valuable features of Red Hat CloudForms are the benefit of the collective functionality."
"The optimization of the solution is quite interesting."
More Red Hat CloudForms pros
 

Cons

"There is a lack from the point of view of monitoring on the system. The performance of the system and its resources are things that I think can be improved. There needs to be real-time monitoring available on the solution."
"It is sometimes difficult to create configurations in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"They need to simplify it and make it lighter."
"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 product does have room for improvement in patch management."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."
"One of the things that can be improved is the quality of results generated by BI Publisher. They are somewhat confusing when it comes to analysis."
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."
"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."
"I have issues with the solution's permissions. Unlike VMware, the product doesn't allow folder-type permissions."
"It is difficult to create a complete dashboard that includes all the needed features or catalogs."
"The solution is still quite immature."
"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 complexity of the solution is a bit high in comparison to 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."
More Red Hat CloudForms cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"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."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control pricing and cost advice
"Red Hat CloudForms is a bit expensive."
"The product's licensing is based on the number of servers."
"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."
"It is definitely cheaper than VMware. Everything is included. There is no challenge there."
"The price of Red Hat CloudForms was not competitive, it was expensive."
