Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"The most valuable features are auto-discovery and automatic detection of the network topology and network monitoring."
"Thanks to its flexibility, I have been able to adapt the tool to our servers and find out quickly how their console works."
"The administration of the console is very easy. I like that Pandora FMS is interactive and easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature is that it is an all-in-one monitoring system."
"We are able to control our business with this all-in-one monitoring tool."

"What I value most about Pandora FMS is the simplicity of working with it."
"The tool is expensive."
"The product must improve its support team."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"Improvements are needed for server and network discovery, including service-based discovery."
"It would be useful if Pandora FMS included an ISO image (or «software appliance») for each big company that leases virtual private machines (VPS), just like in AWS."
"An update to the Android app would be appreciated."
"Pandora could deliver better analytics out of the box. You can work around these limitations with the help of other tools like Grafana. The shortcomings are mostly on the graphical side. The built-in report generators are a bit limited in some areas."
"I would like to have a dashboard with all assets displayed, with a quick hover-over status."
"This solution requires proper training to get 100% out of it."
"Pandora FMS is relatively new, and the interface with the older version crashes at times. We have several different operating systems, such as Linux and Windows, and Pandora does not run as well in these."
"It would be helpful to include the generation of reports for times that the network was out of service."
