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.
GagandeepSingh3 - PeerSpot reviewer
Principal Engineer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good at handling replication, provides cross-database replication but SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies
SAP can provide better support for cross-database replication to newer technologies. The product supports Oracle, but I am not aware of what other technologies it supports. If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Customer service has been consistently excellent."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"It has improved significantly our monitoring and tuning of our databases."
"The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible."
"I really like how Statspack has evolved into AWR, ADDM and ASH reports, fully automated out of the box."
"For any Enterprise edition database customer, I highly recommend that they should implement OEM and at a minimum purchase license for Diagnostic and Tuning pack for database."
"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."
"Enterprise Manager gives us a tool that's fast and reliable for monitoring and managing our whole IT infrastructure."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"The most valuable thing about this product is that it replicates data between SAP databases (ASE to IQ) very successfully."
"Currently, there is a Hadoop-based infrastructure with several engineers to maintain the data, and now, using SAP Replication Server, it has become automatic and requires fewer people to put data in the data warehouse."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."
"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."
 

Cons

"Costs of add-on’s and management packs i.e AWS (Amazon) and Golden Gate"
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"Sometimes it will take some time to open forms, so I feel it should be a little bit faster."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The storage system monitoring is really a little basic. They just give the symptoms, not the solutions."
"I'm a bit skeptical of it. I personally experienced a little longer time than I would like to get the right solution for issues."
"I would like to have more details and privileges. I would say more grantable and obtainable privileges are needed."
"With any Oracle protocol, and Enterprise Manager is one of them, as far as the interface is concerned, it's not good and is still pretty ugly."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."
"Setup was a little complex."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"The product is highly-priced."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"The product is very expensive."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free tool from Oracle."
"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."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
