Monitors databases and applications efficiently with timely alerts
The most valuable features are the monitoring capabilities and how it provides time-to-time alerts, which are very beneficial. It is particularly helpful in providing alerts for tablespace issues or when databases or applications cross certain thresholds. The tool allows us to monitor 24/7, configure dashboards, and quickly check the status of databases that are in critical states. This saves time and enhances productivity.

Great notifications, a wide variety of features, and excellent monitoring capabilities
It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop. It's nice to be able to do things remotely using my phone; however, in many cases, it would be very helpful to be able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer. This would be especially useful for things like remote access to computers. It's too hard to do much on a Windows computer using a tiny phone screen. Being able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer would be much more productive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"The setup is simple."
 

Cons

"Better mobile access would be useful."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"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."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"The product is very expensive."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
