We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability.""It's user friendly.""It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases.""The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us.""I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses.""The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none.""I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support.""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."

"Tanium's most valuable features are patch management, inventory, and distribution software.""Tanium’s linear-chain architecture is valuable.""Tanium has made the process of detecting threats more proactive with its detection. So, the process is easier and more efficient.""The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features.""The security features are very valuable."

Cons
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different.""There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user.""The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement.""In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved.""We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge.""We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products.""I would like to see better pricing.""Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cons →

"The main issues are the network connection because different customers have issues with their networks. It's difficult implementing this type of solution because the network is the main feature in the architecture for these types of solutions. Tanium could improve by creating some network optimization.""Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time.""The reporting could be improved.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""I would like to have more integrations and custom plugins to input. Integration is always a big deal in a lot of different environments.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""The solution can give a lot of false positives."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
  • "As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
  • "The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
  • "The pricing is very high."
  • "We are satisfied with the pricing."
  • "There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."

  • More Oracle Enterprise Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "There is an annual license required to use this solution."
  • "It's an expensive solution. It would be nice if the cost were lower."
  • "Tanium is a more expensive solution in Latin America than some of the competitors, such as BigFix."

    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.”

    Tanium Endpoint Platform reduces security risk, improves agility & increases efficiency, a fundamentally new approach to endpoint security's threat detection, indicent response, vulnerability assessment and configuration compliance & with management's software distribution, asset utilization, asset inventory and patch management.
