Amr Mourad - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Oracle Database Administrator at ISFP
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

"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"Can easily visualize bottlenecks in database performance tuning with historical graph trends; whereas before it would be based upon manually tuning using scripts which are text based."
"It's user friendly."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"From my experience, I'd say that the most valuable feature is the ability to manage all the databases, hardware, and middleware from one pane of glass."
"Using this product, we have improved our process for generating revenue and sending out invoices to our customers."
"I would recommend learning and using OEM right away; it will cut down the time put in by DBAs a lot by using OEM."
"It is the best database management system."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"They provide a lot of features; it's good and easy software."
"The setup is simple."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
"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."
"We like the patching of the window updates in the client's systems. You can automatically do updates with a single click."
"So this solution allows for 24/7 support and is very handy."
"It has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
 

Cons

"UI is the part that I like to see improved in the future."
"OEM needs to be a little bit faster."
"There are some monitoring tools, such as GoldenGate, that would be great if they could put them in OEM."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"I would like to see more functionality/information in Standard Edition Oracle for the same performance analysis."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"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."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"The solution is free."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
