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

"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 best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."
"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization."
"Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient."
"The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed."
"Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable."
"Tanium is a very good product and I would rate it eight or nine out of ten."
"When I push a quick update, it's done right away, and I can rescan immediately to confirm completion within minutes."
"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software."
 

Cons

"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"The solution’s stability 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."
"The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities."
"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. I have to search outside to download patches, create bundles, and then perform the task."
"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 solution lacks mobility."
"Tanium’s scalability could be improved."
"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very high."
"The product is highly-priced."

"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
