We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Quest SharePlex 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."The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."
"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."
"The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."
"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."
"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."
"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."
"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."
"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."
"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."
