Performance issues have been identified and monitored effectively during peak hours
The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure. Oracle Enterprise Manager's handling of Grid Infrastructure needs some improvement. I want to see additional features in the future that deal with security in relation to Oracle Grid Infrastructure. I want to improve these two components.

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

"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"You can get a healthful overview of all your targets in one snapshot in Enterprise Manager."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"What used to take hours to solve a problem can be done in a matter of minutes."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"It is the most up-to-date tool as of now for monitoring, that's it."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"One of the applications I have used the most was to troubleshoot users and I've never faced difficulties or issues with the application itself."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"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."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"The setup is simple."
"It has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
 

Cons

"It was a very, very complicated product to set up."
"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The SQLrun sometimes does not work, and it crashes most of the time."
"It comes with some monitoring bugs, which once reported to Oracle support is always solved."
"Performance tuning tools need improvement."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"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."
"Sometimes the speed is a problem. When I've been remote controlling people, from time to time, there were some issues with people in Hong Kong."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"Remote Desktop Assistance for Mac endpoints - not having this functionality is a major inconvenience in having to have two systems for clients using this platform."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is reasonable."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The product is highly-priced."
"The solution is free."
"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 solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
