Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control Reviews

The performance feature is most valuable to me. It allows the user to see the real-time behavior of the database and diagnose where an issue may exist. It also has advisor functions that give recommendations on what to do to fix any problems with performance of the database.

The product has made it possible to reduce the size of the performance team and still be able to correctly monitor all the databases and fix issues quickly, resulting in fewer downtimes.

This product is a web-based tool and sometimes has conflicts with some web browsers. This can be improved to make it more compatible with most of the popular web browsers.

I have used it for two years.

I encountered no issues with stability of the product.

As the number of databases increased, the tool got a bit slower. Its response time increased with larger number of databases.

Oracle provides excellent technical support for the product.

I did not previously use a different product.

Initial set up seems a bit complex from the beginning. Because it’s a web-based tool, it requires proper configuration to function properly with the browser.

For all the real-time benefits you get from using the product, I can say it is worth the price for licensing.

Before choosing this product, I did not get the chance to evaluate other options.

Take time to study how to use the product. It is very helpful, if it is put to maximum use.

There are lot of features in this product that I like. Among them are that RMAN backup jobs can be created, and that all the database instances can be monitored from one place. Tablespaces can be monitored and data files can be added when required. Also, it's easy to generate ADDM, ASK, and AWR reports.

In my organization, the RMAN backup jobs are configured through this product. Also, we have test, prod, UAT, and QA servers. All these database instances are easy to monitor from this product.

I think the help file should include more in-depth documents for the user to collaborate with all aspects of the product even if they haven't had product training.

I have been using it for three years, and before that I used Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control.

Once, after migrating the server, we had an issue of not being able to start it. We wanted to restore the OEM12C to another server, but the process was so complicated and the testing was not successful. Later, we were able to continue with the previous one.

We have had no stability issues.

There have been no issues scaling it for our needs.

The level of customer service and technical support are good. I understand the product is highly technical, so sometimes issues need more investigative time.

I used Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control and switched because this is the updated version and it's in the cloud. There are a lot of benefits behind using the cloud, and we wanted to take advantage of using the cloud through this product.

The initial setup was straightforward since we followed the setup guide, which was easy to follow. However, in some cases we faced some issues, but they were easy to figured out.

My company implemented it through a vendor team before I joined. Since the product was new and very few people had advanced knowledge of the product at that time, they preferred to implement it through the vendor team.

The product is good for monitoring all databases, but in some cases it's not easy to maintain. For example, if the server crashes and we need to restore the monitoring system, it's very complex. This product is very good for monitoring purposes as well as for cloud databases.

In our experience, the two most valuable features we've found are the email notifications and the live, real-time monitoring. They really allow us to stay on top of things.

As contractors, we manage a whole bunch of different environments and servers. EM Cloud Control gives me a good way to look at everything in one snapshot and to stay on top of daily monitoring.

Another big thing is that it helps with the down time. Instead of having to wait for a user to report an issue, I get an email notification, and most times I can fix it before anybody even knows that something went down.

They're moving everything off of our currents servers into the cloud. It would be nice if there was a way to seamlessly clone the configurations onto Cloud Control and then into the new environment so that I don't have to reconfigure everything.

We've had no issues with deployment.

The stability is pretty good. Sometimes it runs slowly, but that may be due to our network. Generally, though, it's good. The downside is that there is a lot of configuration overhead to get it working the way you want.

We only have one instance of it running. We're not so big that scalability is a concern.

We've had a few issues, opened CRs, and had no trouble getting them resolved. So technical support has been good.

We were using Grid Control and we switched as we didn't have a place to have just one dashboard with everything on it.

The initial setup is not hard; it's just time-consuming.

What it does, it does well, but it's so complex. There are a lot of quirks to get it to do what you want it to do. Do blackouts before you take anything down, because if you don't, you will get a gigantic shit storm.

I use the solution for monitoring purposes. So, by running the agents, we can connect to our client, extract data from the database, and facilitate work component integration within the enterprise.

The solution helps database tuning through query ID and SQL ID; we can fine-tune skill parameters and gather information to enhance operational analysis and performance.

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI. 

I have been using the product for a year. 

I rate the solution's stability a seven out of ten.

I rate the tool's scalability a seven out of ten. 

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control's deployment was straightforward. 

The solution's pricing is fine. 

I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
