Featured Reviews

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.
Jeffery Smith - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortless cost management with automated instance adjustment and helpful support
There are different resource types that we would like to leverage and get reserved instances for, such as RDS instances. Currently, no mechanism within Zesty allows this, but this may be due to AWS limitations. Another point is that Zesty needs to react to any changes AWS makes, but they have been proactive in their communication regarding material impacts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once this solution is configured, it will help administrators centralize their management of the environment."
"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."
"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."
"Compared to other monitoring products, the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle EMCC is its flexibility to manage various industries, projects, and tasks."
"The capability to manage incidents, monitor agent statuses, and address performance issues is highly valuable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is notifications. It is also flexible in defining metrics where you can specify any metric type. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control helps monitor the resources you manage so that you do not overpay."
"We have been satisfied with technical support."
"The turnkey aspect of Zesty is very valuable."
"One of the reasons we decided to onboard Zesty was that it started supporting Windows instances."
 

Cons

"Because this solution provides insight into all of the areas within the IT stack, it would benefit from enhancements in security."
"I've had both positive and negative experiences with support. Its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less."
"It is sometimes difficult to create configurations in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to monitor other Oracle tools as well. It should also improve its pricing."
"Another point that can be improved is the agent instability in the monitored hosts, because sometimes an agent has to be resynchronized to recapture the information."
"The product does have room for improvement in patch management."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."
"They need to simplify it and make it lighter."
"I would like to get RDS-reserved instances that I could buy and sell, but that's a limitation on AWS."
"There are different resource types that we would like to leverage and get reserved instances for, such as RDS instances."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"it's neither expensive nor cheap."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
"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."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
