Extensive functionality impresses despite occasional setup complexity
The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable. Now it has become a significantly improved product. We have integrated identity management, and we are using it for normal database examination, tuning, and performance. We are working with STATSPACK and similar tools that are integrated in Oracle Enterprise Manager. We are currently working with version 13.5, having upgraded from 13.4 last year. Automation is useful for improving operational efficiency, and there are many more opportunities to automate outside the databases. Not many things need to be automated inside the databases. We have jobs running, imports, exports, and similar tasks. To automate these processes, we utilize the Scheduler from Oracle, which is managed in the databases by the vendor. This is not part of our DBA functions in Oracle Enterprise Manager.

A solution with a great monitoring system and ability to control access remotely
The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment depends on the size of a customer. We make the customer in the enterprise server, and there is a download per customer for the installation package. We can also roll it out very easily, and when we install it on one or two systems, it explores the network for more systems. We can then fire a deployment package on the other systems. So in one hour, we can do a lot. Most of the time, 90% of the work is very easy, and the last 10% are the business-critical systems from a customer. Also, we manually install important customer systems, like special applications where we like to monitor specific services in the server itself.

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager has been the preventive reporting capability."
"The functions and features of Oracle Enterprise Manager that I have found most valuable are its evolution from being problematic in 10g and 11g versions to becoming better and more stable."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The most valuable is when a client calls us to tell us the performance is really bad, I can quickly go on to OEM and see which SQL is causing the problem."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"It's user friendly."
"We increased our capacity and speed of detection, diagnose and resolution of database issues."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"The setup is simple."
"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."
 

Cons

"UI is the part that I like to see improved in the future."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"There are a lot of options; it takes time. I don't see anything like a dashboard or something similar."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"What I would love to see in Enterprise Manager is more support for the hardware, more support for Bare Metal."
"OEM needs to be a little bit faster."
"Still, there are lot of improvements that need to take place."
"Enterprise Manager is not easy or for the faint of heart. It is extremely robust, and hence very complicated to set up and maintain."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"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."
"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."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"The solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is reasonable."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The pricing is very high."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"The product is very expensive."
