Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"I find it to be a strong product suite, particularly when you need a comprehensive monitoring tool."
"Monitoring of processes and services is the most valuable feature. It is not necessarily just the server alone in terms of the CPU or the memory. We can go in-depth into services and processes."
"The solution is end-to-end from the network and the application to the processes. Everything about the enterprise infrastructure is being covered by the solution. It's easy to use and easy to navigate and one of the leaders among monitoring solutions."
"The product integrates with Remedy."
"Identifying the problem statement is easy."
"Manage Groups: The capability to group appropriate devices gives better visibility of sites, categories, or critical regions. The same can be used to represent a dashboard for higher management."
"Monitoring the components on your devices with out of the box monitors or the ability to create new ones (SAM)"
"The solution has good alerts. Notifications are sent via email to technicians. You can filter the kinds of alerts you want to receive as well. It's excellent."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"Technical support could be faster."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"The product must improve its support team."
"The setup was complex. We had local support to assist us."
"PerfStack can be made more effective. I am sure SolarWinds already has a plan for the same in coming versions."
"There is one feature that is a report writer. And they are currently trying to take it out from being a stand-alone application and integrating to the web. This doesn't give us the flexibility and it doesn't expand what we can get when it comes to reporting. So, putting it on the web is going to make it difficult to get some information. Leaving it where it is now will help us a lot."
"I would like to see support for non-Windows or non-Microsoft domains, especially Apache and other non-Windows servers."
"I think they need to make reporting easier and more simple & dynamic."
"Mapping interactions between systems."
"Support for the IBM Mainframe is needed."
"The stability, flexibility, and ease of use could be improved."
