I haven't used Oracle technical support for this product. But we have used them for other products, like Oracle Server or Oracle Appliance, for example. For Oracle Appliance, I don't have good feedback because recently we had some issues with Exadata, and they were taking too much time with giving us a solution, so the case was still open for weeks. Technical support is responsive, but the problem is that there are some other customers that we are managing, and there is not good feedback because every now and then, there are issues for which we open a case, and the same issues are continuously appearing. We are experiencing issues with the same hardware, and we never get a fix. This is for Oracle Private Cloud Appliance and for Oracle Exadata. For Oracle software, we have good feedback about the quality of the support. But as far as the hardware, I cannot say the same.

What is our primary use case I've used the solution for monitoring. It looks at if something is slow, which processes are taking the most resources, if it's up or if it's down, et cetera. What is most valuable? I like how you can drill down to a problem, like which specific query is causing…

Pricing

"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."
"Based upon 3 days of implementation by a single person, plus licensing costs would be approximately $60,000, including the virtualized hosts."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."

Valuable Features

"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"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."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."

Room For Improvement

"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."

Reviews from Real Users

Oracle Enterprise Manager stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its central management and monitoring and its reporting capabilities

Robin C., head of Oracle Exadata Centre of Excellence at Tata Consultancy Services, writes, "The database performance monitoring features are very useful and allow us to quickly zero in on DB-related issues. Exadata storage server and Infiniband switches can be viewed from the GUI in OEM which cannot be done in other tools. The ability to deploy metric extensions makes this tool extensible for our custom monitoring also."

PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A database manager at a tech services company notes, “The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics. They have plug-ins that are very helpful. Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product. They have a very nice graphical user interface. The monitoring is good. We can capture the SQL tune from us. With Oracle Enterprise Managers, we can see the rich performance tuning.”
