Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"It's user friendly."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"We can see trends for a lot of different things, such as hard drive space and bandwidth usage. We can see and plan for the future by knowing, "We're sort of at 75% capacity now. In three months time, we know we're going to be up to 90%,so we need to plan ahead for it, getting upgrades booked in place." Since things like this take time and effort, it's handy to see trends into the future of where our company is going."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"The installation is not that complex."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"It is great for service level agreements and can comply fully with internet monitoring or any interface."
"It's very easy to manage when you've got time to do some work on it: things like adding devices, adding groups, adding sensor clusters, and being able to clone and move stuff around."
"PRTG Network Monitor is a very stable product."
"Nice product with an easy interface to use and a large variety of sensors."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"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."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The only sort of limitation is the actual probes. So, if you don't have enough probes on there, you can over flip them and cause the WMI sensors and SNMP sensors to sort of overload. Sometimes, they might timeout for a minute, but they do come back."
"PRTG Network Monitor needs to show bandwidth utilization in proper graphs. It isn't easy to learn."
"With custom sensors, there is a lot of work which needs to be done in the background, just for it to be tailor-made for the specific thing that we are actually monitoring. We take a lot of time with the custom sensors. I would like to see the customer sensor be more robust and a bit more varied."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
"I would like to see them take their graphing tools and convert them into a collector so that we can point telemetry to them"
"PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management."
"PRTG access works best from the web GUI. There are dedicated apps on Windows/Android/iOS, but they are slow and don’t work as well as the web GUI."
