Featured Reviews

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.
ClaudiaChen - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud Architect - Senior Technology Architect at Telstra
Generates close to real-time alerts so users can resolve issues, but needs more integration and public cloud monitoring features
As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the valuable features is performance drill down."
"As a troubleshooter, I was able to quickly resolve memory issues."
"It is a must if you have more than a couple of databases to monitor and manage, it can also do a lot of other stuff and monitor various types of targets."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps me investigate and extract what the issue is, rather than just observing the Oracle environment."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"The look and feel I think. Fast and compatible."
"It is the most flexible solution of this type, but it takes time to adapt."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"Zenoss is more complex than LogicMonitor, but scalable and hugely customizable."
"With this solution, they can have one million users at the same time with no crashes."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
 

Cons

"I would like to improve the cost."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Some of the new features it could give us: maybe access to some of the taxation data and also some of the other benefits it could include as part of the system."
"Middleware (weblogic) has some bugs and crashes occur which should be fixed to make OEM more productive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Sometimes it will take some time to open forms, so I feel it should be a little bit faster."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"Technical support is 3/10, poor: Incomplete and poor documentation Undocumented processes Inconsistent solutions to problems depending on source"
"This solution is complex for beginners so it takes some time to learn."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product is very expensive."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
"It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
"There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."
"It depends on the customer, what he wants."
