Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"It's user friendly."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"It is a user-friendly product that requires almost no maintenance."
"SCOM has improved our organization by simplifying the monitoring process. The system tells you what the bi-weekly or monthly usage was and that enables us to report this information to the manager. It shows if there was a connectivity issue that needs to be fixed and it's easier to concentrate on what needs to get fixed. System errors, therefore, get fixed faster."
"We are able to do problem determination on runaway processes."
"It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring of Windows and Linux servers."
"This solution saves us a lot of work because it reduces the effort that is required in order to start monitoring."
"The tool helps to monitor Windows servers. It offers alerts from a central location."
"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."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"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."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Technical support could be faster."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"SCOM needs to improve its usability."
"The end-user components, including the dashboards, the administration console, and the web console, need to be improved."
"Regarding certain issues in the solution, it can be difficult to generate reports if we have a program that is not user-friendly for reporting. While this is not necessarily negative, we may need to use another solution."
"It could use some system enhancements, such as better dashboards."
"We didn't know the solution enough, and therefore, it took a while to set everything up correctly. There was a learning curve."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"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."
