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…

Foolproof stability and robust system
SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

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 dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"It allows me to manage resources effectively and monitor active sessions."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"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."
"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."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
 

Cons

"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"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 product is very expensive."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"It's expensive."
"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."
