We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager 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."Automation of operating system, application, and update deployments massively reduces IT operations effort."
"Offers good patching."
"It does the job and meets our needs. With everybody working remotely these days, we are using this solution to deploy everything. The deployment of PCs is easy."
"Endpoint Manager is valuable to our organization because it allows us to connect to our enterprise from remote locations securely. The most useful feature is its robustness and scalability. It is highly scalable and flexible, allowing us to use it in various environments. Additionally, we can specialize the policies related to each device group. This ensures that each group has access to the applications they need for their work and non-work hours."
"The initial setup is straightforward and not too complicated."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"The product is useful for patch management."
"Microsoft Configuration Manager is integrated with other Microsoft products."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"Some of the capabilities aren't fully developed yet. It's an ongoing work in progress. I think they are making some steps in the right direction as far as managing workstations centrally, like Intune."
"I would like to see more automation."
"Initial setup was complex. There's a lot that goes into it."
"Not everything is readily available, and there are a lot of commands that are only executable via PowerShell."
"In terms of the monitoring, the timeframe it takes to actually report back on the compliance of a device after it has been patched is a bit too long."
"The main thing is that SCCM has to become an appliance instead of a server. When I say appliance, it has to come preconfigured so that it is drop-shipped into the enterprise and then you activate the feature sets that you want. It should pull down all the latest binaries. Once that is all there, it should have a discovery tool which goes out and discovers the assets within an enterprise. If the server, workstation, and applications are all coming from the same vendor, why not have the vendor do this work for us and automate it as much as it possibly can?"
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"Its client interface should be more accessible, and the notifications should be more customizable from the console. It should be more user friendly and have some kind of customized notifications so that we can use it on the client side. These are the reasons why we restricted its use only for the server environment and didn't use it on the client side."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"There are limited numbers of other OEM devices that can be integrated into enterprise management that can be scaled by Oracle by adding other OEM devices to enterprise management."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
