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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For any organization that wants a reliable or secure system, this is the product to go with."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"The most valuable feature is the automation of the alerting, so we can be proactive when we use that program instead of being called in the middle of the night because something is wrong."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases; you have full visibility with the tool, it is a complete solution, and the software is simple to use."
"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."
"We need 99.9995 uptime, and Oracle Enterprise Manager helps us to achieve this goal with its superior monitoring and management capabilities."
"It is a very good Oracle tool which enables us to incorporate all the databases throughout our environment, set up several rules, monitor from there, and perform almost any operation with one click of a button, making life easier and freeing our time from mundane tasks."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"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 has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"So this solution allows for 24/7 support and is very handy."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"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."
 

Cons

"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"Technical support is good. That said, they take a lot of time before they start acting upon an issue."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products. This would add value, for us, because as it is now, we have to go to different screens to check different products."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Middleware (weblogic) has some bugs and crashes occur which should be fixed to make OEM more productive."
"I think with the documentation there could be improvements."
"It was a very, very complicated product to set up."
"Performance tuning tools need improvement."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"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."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"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."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"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 pricing is very high."
"It's expensive."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
