A stable tool that provides users with a dashboard to give a view of all the implementations of Oracle products at a glance
When my company has to deal with complex customers along with the many products from Oracle, we use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a dashboard to get a view of all the implementations of Oracle products The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and…
Pieter Plas - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"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."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"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."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"The setup is simple."
 

Cons

"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The product must improve its support team."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"The tool is expensive."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"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."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"The solution is free."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
