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…

Stable product with an ability to build complex roles
We use Tanium as an EDR solution for managing end-user devices and servers The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors. Tanium's dashboard UI could be similar to CrowdStrike. We have been using Tanium for two and a half years. The product is stable. I rate…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"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 tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."
"I find the inventory and compliance features of Tanium to be the most impressive."
"Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
"The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors."
 

Cons

"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"When contacting My Oracle Support, I encounter first-line support initially, which is inadequate as I require more in-depth support."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"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 could be faster."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"The solution can give a lot of false positives."
"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

"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"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."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The solution offers value for money."
"The solution is expensive but it's a good investment."
"There is an annual license required to use this solution."
"It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
"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."
"The product's pricing differs from region to region depending on negotiations and the number of endpoints."
