Extensive tool features support database monitoring, but support and pricing present challenges
I don't fully understand what improvements could be made in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.

Modern API design has transformed documentation workflows and supports interactive testing
Scalr helps with API testing and client functionality, which includes a built-in Try It tool similar to Postman, allowing developers to test endpoints, manage environment variables, and see request history. The faster response is due to the CI/CD workflow integrating with GitHub Actions and another tool to automatically update and version documentation as the codebase evolves. Other features include data formatting, where I can convert strings to uppercase, trim white spaces, or concatenate first and last names into a full name field. In scientific contexts, a scalar is a physical quantity described only by magnitude with no direction. In environmental aspects, monitoring and measuring temperature, pressure, or humidity, resource tracking, and calculating mass, volume, density, or time duration reflect the best impact on my organization. One specific outcome I have noticed is scholarly publishing. Scalr is also an open-source platform for born-digital, media-rich publishing, allowing scholars to create interactive online books that integrate high-resolution media with sophisticated archival structures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OEM is invaluable in many ways, other products can replace bits of it - but the product should be used as a single point from which to view as much of your enterprise as possible."
"The real-time threat detection has been the most valuable feature."
"If you have a considerable number of Oracle Databases and they are very critical, I suggest you use this product, as it eases administration, mainly regarding performance management and troubleshooting."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EM CC) is the best product for monitoring many of the Oracle databases and other Oracle applications such as Siebel, E-Business Suite, WebLogic."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has been really useful for our organisation."
"The solution provides very useful insights for application and database performance tuning, and we were able to do away with guess work in determining where the bottlenecks were in application performance."
"The report feature is very useful."
"Oracle support is always good."
"After all the years of helping enterprises implement API strategies at SmartBear, I can confidently say Scalr is what the industry has been waiting for."
"I was able to deal with requests without needing every server on; I could turn them off."
 

Cons

"One area where Oracle EMCC could improve is file import flexibility."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI."
"The product is good for monitoring all databases, but in some cases it's not easy to maintain."
"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."
"Sometimes the alerts are coming a bit late, for example, an alert for the CPU."
"As the number of databases increased, the tool got a bit slower. Its response time increased with larger number of databases."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to monitor other Oracle tools as well. It should also improve its pricing."
"The product does have room for improvement in patch management."
"We did use AWS autoscaling but Rackspace left something to be desired."
"Regarding licensing, if I buy a licensing key, it is beneficial, but if I have a lesser standing, it is not as good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"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."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"The tool's pricing is competitive."
"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."
