Oracle Enterprise GRC Manager Reviews

What is most valuable?

This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them.

What needs improvement?

I work mainly with 11G, and while it's a constantly improving product, I'd like to see it as a cloud-based offering to help with storage and memory. This is something that I'd like to learn more about and which would probably be beneficial for us.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've worked with it for the past 17 years and there's just a high comfort level with it that I have.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We haven't had any issues with deployment.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It's stable. We haven't had any issues with instability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We were looking into upgrading to 12C, but right now, we're at 11G.

How are customer service and support?

In the couple of times we've had to contact technical support, they were real responsive and got back to me as quickly as possible.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is real easy. It doesn’t require a lot of questions. The GUI helps you through it and makes sure you know what you're doing, so I like the product.

What about the implementation team?

We implemented it ourselves. It was pretty straightforward with the GUI.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We chose this because of the stability but sometimes you run into bugs in the lower versions and it's easier to upgrade to keep the system stable. We also looked at MySQL, which is the most popular and the most stable and we do have SQL servers so it's a mixture of both.

What other advice do I have?

You should pick something that's easy to use, provide easy monitoring, and which is easy to teach others to administer.
