If over six hundred errors are related to the database, it can lead to a crash, resulting in significant losses for any business. Using a monitoring tool helps prevent such disasters. For instance, if a high CPU consumption query is identified through the monitoring tool, it becomes a proactive way to address potential crashes. By identifying and working on problematic queries, you can notify users to terminate sessions, avoiding downtime and potential business impacts. This monitoring tool proves to be incredibly helpful for managing and overseeing applications and data.
What other advice do I have?
I rate the product a nine out of ten.

Deployment is the same with the wireless license. You first deployed a server to the cloud and then created a schema for all your data links. The deployment process depends on the system type you will implement.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution’s licence is expensive. It is a user-based solution and has a yearly subscription for upgrades.

The maintenance of the Oracle Enterprise Manager solution depends on the type of banking system you are using, the number of users, the amount of data, and whether or not you have migrated any data. Since we have not migrated any data, it is going as it is.
You should go for an open-source solution if possible.

Stable monitoring tool that can help manage all the resources and view all the resources from a single dashboard
Pros and Cons
- "The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
- "There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
What is our primary use case?
Enterprise Manager is a centralized system. It will help integrate all the Oracle servers and Oracle applications into a central single dashboard that we can see, and it helps to monitor and control all the services from enterprise management.
What is most valuable?
The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature. All the enterprise services can be seen from a single pane, whether it be a database, applications, or hardware. We can manage and monitor from a single page.
What needs improvement?
Lots of other OEMs we can integrate, but there are very few variants that we can bind and see and monitor from OEM Enterprise Manager. In that case, Oracle can increase the addition of other OEM devices that we can integrate into enterprise management.
There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with this solution for more than five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is a stable solution. I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It is a scalable solution. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.
All the clients that have Oracle servers are using the Enterprise Manager. So, there are around six to seven clients using this solution.
How are customer service and support?
The customer service and support was very good.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with one being difficult and ten being easy.
The deployment process takes five to six hours.
What about the implementation team?
The process will take the deployment of our database first. We need to set up the Oracle database. After that, the database is created, and we need to create a listener. And after that, we can set up the Oracle Enterprise Manager database. In the middleware, it will communicate with the database, and after the process is complete, we can browse the Oracle Enterprise Manager. With the help of Oracle Enterprise Manager, we can communicate with all the servers and other posts that support SNMP or with whichever supports the Oracle Enterprise Manager point.
What other advice do I have?
It's a very stable monitoring tool that can help manage all the resources and view all the resources from a single dashboard.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I deducted one point because it doesn't offer a feature of allowing other operating systems to be hosted on Spark.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Private Cloud
Disclosure: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.
