We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a great solution for highlighting and discovering useful information regarding our network's elements."
"We've had great feedback from our customers about SevOne support. They're willing to set up a remote session upon request. You have to go through three tiers of support with most vendors, and they ask a lot of screening questions before they will do a remote session. You need to spend a lot of time before an engineer will host a remote session to look at your problematic system."
"The automation feature is good because if your CMDB is OK and it is already in sync, then the automation part is good to go."
"It also gives us the closest thing to real-time insight into network performance that we have, with just a 10-second delay. It's very important for us to know the health of the infrastructure very quickly."
"In 90% of the cases, new devices are plug-and-play, so when a new version comes out then SevOne has support for it out of the box."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"One of the most valuable features is the graphs, which you can build instantly. I have used some open-source platforms in the past, but they are not as good. With SevOne, the sampling in the graph can be every few seconds, not just every few minutes, and that's really helpful. It's really fast."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"It is the best database management system."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"It is a good tool for monitoring databases."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"It's user friendly."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"Telemetry is hot these days, and IBM can improve SevOne's support for telemetry correction. Reporting is another feature that could be better. It provides the bare minimum functionality, which is good enough for most engineers, but the management isn't advanced. The new portal provides a much lighter view and better visualization, but the management is not so good."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"You need to plan integrations. That has been the biggest bug with SevOne so far. For the things that SevOne pulls directly, those are easy to understand, modify, and put into the database. For things that need to use the Universal Collector or xStats, you need to plan that stuff well in advance."
"The reporting of NMS is good, but it could be better."
"High-frequency polling is data-intensive because you're pulling more. If SevOne could figure out a way to manage the impact of high-frequency polling on the system, that would be very popular."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"Technical support could be faster."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
