Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We can manage everything in our environment."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"It is the best database management system."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"This solution helps our application teams by allowing them to drill further into issues and perform a root cause analysis."
"It discovers the components automatically, which is a fantastic thing. The discovery works in an automatic way, and it has a dynamic way of discovering the components, assets, and applications. It doesn't require any manual intervention."
"I like some of their newer features, such as maintenance schedules, because SCOM records SLA and SLO time."
"We have found the scalability capabilities to be okay."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"Because it's Windows-based, it actually reports quite well. It reports everything you can think of on the Windows server and allows you to monitor anything. It's excellent for those in the Windows world as it's very good at it."
"The solution's reporting engine has given me detailed information on which applications or services I've either failed or about to fail in terms of the predictive makeup on Azure cloud."
"The stability has been great."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"The product must improve its support team."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"Of course, price is always an issue with Microsoft and could be improved."
"The GI is difficult to work with and the reporting servers are also difficult."
"I would like to see better support for monitoring Unix-based systems."
"They can focus more on cloud monitoring instead of on-premise monitoring. We should be able to monitor cloud-related applications. They can include this feature in the next release. If it is in the cloud, we can have scalability by using Kubernetes. The container is containerized, packaged, and managed using Kubernetes. This feature is not there in SCOM. Going forward, if they can focus on that, it will be great."
