Provides good stability and has an easy implementation process
It is a good tool for monitoring databases. It enhances the overall visibility within the database The older version of the product works with Flash technology. Although the latest version works with Java, it still requires Flash technology. It should utilize only a Java plugin to visualize your…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"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 single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"The security features are very valuable."
"I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel."
"I like the tool's incident response and security patching."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
 

Cons

"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"Tanium required local admin or root rights on Mac devices, which did not comply with our security policies. This made the solution less suitable for our restrictive environment."
"I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments."
"Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time."
"The reporting could be improved."
"When working with Tanium, there are some older devices that haven't been patched for a long time, and certain patches are not included in Tanium."
"It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"It's expensive."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"The product is highly-priced."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
"It is higher than some competitors in the market."
"Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"The solution offers value for money."
