We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The tool is mainly for monitoring databases, especially focusing on performance. It supports various databases, including Oracle, allowing daily activity monitoring. The solution enables displaying performance metrics, providing continuous tracking. It also offers management capabilities for connected databases, featuring graphical performance graphs. Users can perform tasks like killing sessions and controlling database elements. Additionally, it allows viewing tables, SAN disks, and other database components.""From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers.""The report feature is very useful.""You can create a system group (database, application, and web server), so you can monitor performance as a system.""It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control gives us diverse monitoring capability that can be extremely powerful.""If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."

"The manageability feature is the most important aspect of the solution.""The interface is very user-friendly.""It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten... Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It was not expensive at all.""The most valuable feature is the three nodes and the free hypervisor.""It is flexible like a hyper-convergence system. You can add nodes, and you can scale to have better performance and stability. I also like the backup feature, the recovery system, and the web interface GUI to handle everything.""I find the simplicity of Sangfor very valuable. It is easy to configure and user-friendly. The overall user experience as well as the usability of Sangfor is outstanding.""The product provides a single management console for managing everything."

Cons
"​Oracle Data Guard monitoring: There are no alerts for redo log transport failure.​""They need to simplify it and make it lighter.""The initial setup depends on your experience. For example, for people who are doing it for the first time, it's probably difficult.""I've had both positive and negative experiences with support. Its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less.""One area where Oracle EMCC could improve is file import flexibility.""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.""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.""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 →

"The interface could be a little bit better.""The processing speed and cost should be improved.""I would want the product to include Continuous Data Protection (CDP) which can help to easily retrieve the data.""It should have object storage. It already has network virtualization and micro-segmentation, but it is missing object storage. It does not have object storage. vSAN also does not have object storage, but Nutanix has object storage, and it is natively integrated into its HCI. So, if you pay for the object storage license, you have that module pre-built.""The error reporting needs to be improved.""The solution could improve by including backup capabilities.""The migration process could be easier.""Sangfor could improve its built-in CAP system. Right now, we need to use an external tool for CAP."

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."
  • "The licensing costs are largely too high."
  • "Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
  • "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 tool's pricing is competitive."
  • "Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
  • "Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
  • More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The price of Sangfor is cheaper than other competing products."
  • "The pricing of Sangfor is very competitive."
  • "It is in the middle range as compared to other hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. There is a three-year warranty on the hardware. The license also includes other features. Sangfor has included Continuous Data Protection (CDP) and a built-in firewall with the license. Other top brands, such as VxRail and VMware, require a separate license for such features."
  • "Its price should be better, but I don't think they will change the price list. You have to pay for licenses, and you have to pay for support, so you have an annual fee. You can use the product without the fee, but it's really dumb because you need support. We are an IT company. We provide the product, and we need the support too for our customers."
  • "Sangfor needs to be more aggressive because this is a new market or territory for Sangfor. Nepal is a very price-sensitive market, so Sangfor needs to be a little more aggressive with its pricing. I would rate them 3.75 out of five in terms of the price."
  • "I would say its pricing is between cheap and reasonable and would rate it as three out of five."
  • "The solution has a good initial cost but a high renewal cost."
  • "The solution is very cheap."
