We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"It is also a single platform, all in one place, and that is a reason we went for this solution. Earlier, we had multiple platforms, the database and the OS, but this is a single platform that helps us with what we are doing."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"What I like about this solution is that it's more reliable compared to other solutions."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"The solution allows quick setting up of new development environments and ensures the use of the storage more efficiently. It manages to create new clients to be utilized for development or reporting."
"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."
"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."
"The updating of the database engine is something that can be improved. For example, assume that we are using PostgreSQL out of the box, and it is version 10. If we want to migrate to version 11, 12, or 13, then it is not very easy to do that using Nutanix Era."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"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."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
