Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 15, 2025

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and VMware Tanzu Platform compete in the enterprise infrastructure management category. Oracle seems to have the upper hand in large-scale Oracle environments due to its performance monitoring and middleware management, while VMware Tanzu offers flexibility with multicloud integration perfect for diverse IT ecosystems.

Features: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is known for task automation, comprehensive monitoring, and performance management across Oracle infrastructures. It excels in disaster recovery solution setup and centralized patch management. VMware Tanzu Platform is notable for managing Kubernetes clusters in hybrid and multicloud environments, allowing easy tool integration and efficient lifecycle management.

Room for Improvement: Oracle EMCC can improve file import flexibility, browser compatibility, and documentation. It could also enhance security features and integration with non-Oracle tools. VMware Tanzu Platform could benefit from better support for non-VMware infrastructure, refined network control, and reduced complexity. Additional third-party tool integrations and granular control features are desired.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Oracle EMCC supports hybrid and on-premises environments but has inconsistent technical support. Deployment is generally appreciated but documentation varies widely in user feedback. VMware Tanzu is flexible across clouds including hybrid setups but noted as complex due to feature extensiveness. Customer service is variable with occasional delays and integration challenges.

Pricing and ROI: Oracle EMCC is expensive but seen as a worthwhile investment for businesses reliant on Oracle systems, offering potential cost savings through efficiency. VMware Tanzu is also positioned as costly, often suited for larger enterprises as it bundles with Cloud Foundry. Both solutions provide good ROI when optimized for appropriate environments, though cost and ROI vary by business size.

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 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."

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

"If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."

"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."

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

"Using Enterprise Manager, I was able to create user profiles for all the instances that have the same profile. Secondly, it's easier to manage performance, to automate the AWR reports to run every half an hour, or hour. Then, if you have a performance issue you just open the report and you can see what was running the last one hour, the SQL statements, or what was causing the performance issues."

"The most valuable feature of Oracle EMCC is its flexibility to manage various industries, projects, and tasks."

"The report feature is very useful."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control pros

"The Day 2 operations support is the most vital feature"

"The most popular feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is its graphical user interface for describing network policies on the Service Mesh, which is highly integrable with other tools commonly used in supply chains such as security."

"The solution is integrated very well with a lot of other systems. Also, its GUI is very good."

"We never experienced any problems with scalability."

"It definitely gives the end customer a good overview and perspective of running applications in terms of overall workload footprint. TMC provides a very detailed description of your cloud-native application in the form of graphical visualization."

"There are a lot of services available in VMware Tanzu Application Service, such as databases and application servers. You have everything you need in one application and you do not need to search outside of the solution."

"The valuable feature I have found to be the management of Kubernetes clusters in a private cloud or public clouds, such as Azure or Google Cloud Platform."

"VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization."

More VMware Tanzu Platform pros

Cons

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

"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."

"When registering a host, only if your host is running Linux will you get all the information which is available on EM. It would be nice if in future releases to include IBM AIX (primarily) and Microsoft Windows (secondly)."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."

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

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

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control cons

"Addressing the high upfront costs could improve the product. Implementing a subscription-based model with tiered service options could make it more accessible to a broader range of customers."

"The disaster recovery feature could be improved to provide better tracking of issues. I would also like to see the introduction of a dashboard view, for even further integration of all the areas that Mission Control looks at."

"The product should support integration with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)"

"One potential area for expansion would be leveraging AI capabilities, which my customer might be interested in exploring as they grow."

"Customers have noticed a considerable price increase after VMware's acquisition by Broadcom."

"VMware Tanzu Service Mesh could add better integration with other cloud platforms, such as vRealize Automation or VMware vCloud Director for cloud providers."

"The network control and security policies must be improved."

"Cost is always a concern. Smaller companies might find the price a bigger issue."

More VMware Tanzu Platform cons
