We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses.""It is a good tool for monitoring databases.""This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues.""We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM.""I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability.""It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward.""The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there.""It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."

"The solution is scalable and helps to understand how infrastructure works. It helps to improve the health of the organization.""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.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""The product is granular and can build complex roles compared to other EDR vendors.""The most valuable features of this solution are the consolidation of all historical data on device endpoints, security drivers, firmware, and Software version gaps.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user.""I like the tool's incident response and security patching.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management."

Cons
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The tool is expensive.""The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items.""The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement.""There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user.""The solution is considered expensive.""RMAN tools need improvement.""Technical support could be faster."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cons →

"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 most painful thing is the interface. It's a bit unclear sometimes.""Tanium's limitations should be improved because although it is a great tool, it is limited to only a few classes during a session.""It is not really additional functions, or the features that are needed, rather the complexity would be reduced based on the number of modules required to put together a comprehensive operational security and risk compliance model.""We had some issues with the solution's OS upgrade.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""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 performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used."

    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.
