We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control and vCenter Orchestrator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about VMware, Nutanix, IBM and others in Cloud Management."The solution is reliable."
"Using Enterprise Manager, I was able to create user profiles for all the instances that have the same profile. Secondly, it's easier to manage performance, to automate the AWR reports to run every half an hour, or hour. Then, if you have a performance issue you just open the report and you can see what was running the last one hour, the SQL statements, or what was causing the performance issues."
"The tool is mainly for monitoring databases, especially focusing on performance. It supports various databases, including Oracle, allowing daily activity monitoring. The solution enables displaying performance metrics, providing continuous tracking. It also offers management capabilities for connected databases, featuring graphical performance graphs. Users can perform tasks like killing sessions and controlling database elements. Additionally, it allows viewing tables, SAN disks, and other database components."
"Of course, that you can manage and create the backup strategies from a central environment for all your environments, so you don’t have to do so on each database. You can set up the policy you want for each database, but you do it from a central environment."
"The solution helps database tuning through query ID and SQL ID; we can fine-tune skill parameters and gather information to enhance operational analysis and performance."
"You can create a system group (database, application, and web server), so you can monitor performance as a system."
"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."
"The valuable feature is job scheduling. It manages the database's scheduling, history, and growth, helping monitor CPU and space usage across the entire data center. It provides a comprehensive view of operations."
"Technical support is helpful."
"The most valuable feature is workflow automation."
"The solution is stable."
"The DRS feature from VMware is very valuable to us because it balances workloads."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the workflow creation."
"The technical support services are excellent."
"The most valuable feature is that it's simple and very ergonomic to use the product compared to other virtualizing product. Out of Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM, we found VMware to be the best one."
"It is very stable. I have been using vCenter Orchestrator from version three now to six plus."
"There is a lot of information required to deal with the vulnerabilities in the product on a timely basis, for which the documentation part is not available."
"When registering a host, only if your host is running Linux will you get all the information which is available on EM. It would be nice if in future releases to include IBM AIX (primarily) and Microsoft Windows (secondly)."
"The installation steps are very complex and the documentation for them is very generic and does not make very clear the correct steps from the installation to the addition of the host and database."
"One of the things that can be improved is the quality of results generated by BI Publisher. They are somewhat confusing when it comes to analysis."
"There is a lack from the point of view of monitoring on the system. The performance of the system and its resources are things that I think can be improved. There needs to be real-time monitoring available on the solution."
"Because all our banking infrastructure is based on Oracle, I’ve tried to register Enterprise Manager on the middleware level, let's say, WebLogic applications. But I cannot say that I can do all the administration from Enterprise Manager, that I can do from the WebLogic Admin Console. So, I think here it needs some improvement: Things that you can do on the WebLogic Admin Console, you should be able to do them on the Enterprise Manager, so you don’t have to log into the Admin Console."
"Because this solution provides insight into all of the areas within the IT stack, it would benefit from enhancements in security."
"The only negative thing about this product is that it doesn't support all environments or all applications."
"The product lacks GUIs. The tool should have more GUIs available, along with easier product documentation."
"We would like more flexibility in sizing data storage and virtual machines, as the current options aren't very adaptable."
"The snapshot technology of VMware is not good compared to other solutions in the market, like Nutanix."
"VMware tools would benefit from more automation. When installing our devices and servers, we often need to install the VMware tools manually. This process should be automated during the VM installation process."
"It could be integrated with third-party hypervisors."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I liked the previous client better than the current web client of vCenter Orchestrator, though my colleagues like the client now. The technical support for vCenter Orchestrator needs improvement."
"There are some update-related issues with the product."
