Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"It is the best database management system."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"It's user friendly."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"The Slack integration is fantastic, and I've actually found it to be very useful recently."
"PRTG has improved our visibility and response time to issues related to remote sites."
"It is easy to use and intuitive, which is really important. It does what it says on the box by giving you a visual of the state of what is going on at any one time."
"Technical support is helpful."
"I can create my own program sensor. This means I can add extra monitoring capabilities into the already fundamentally strong foundation."
"It is very flexible, and we can monitor many aspects of IT as well as ERP and CRM services. It has a very powerful interface and APIs for customization."
"There was only one feature I liked about PRTG Network Monitor a lot, and that was bandwidth monitoring, though, in the newer versions of the tool, that feature is now a bit lacking. Pricing for PRTG Network Monitor is also not as expensive. It's a good tool, even for beginners."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The free version only gives us 100 free sensors to use. It would be nice if there was double that."
"In the next release, PRTG Network Monitor should add a backup solution."
"The icons on PRTG's network diagram are hard to find. For example, finding the icons for firewalls and servers is difficult, so we're struggling to create the network topology."
"I would like to see Office 365 monitoring. Essentially, it doesn't do it. I assumed not at all, but apparently it does it slightly. However, due to issues with APIs, they currently don't provide full monitoring for O365."
"In terms of sensors and probes, it would be really cool if PRTG had a purely Azure-based solution. We had to install a probe on one of our cloud servers and then let that probe out from there. It would be really cool if it just monitored Azure without having to install something on the device."
"We need something that is more predictive. We would prefer if it wasn't a solution that was corrective and instead offered predictive insights so that we can handle problems before they even occur."
"Once you start going above 5000 sensors, things do start to get a bit shaky. There are some best practice out there that you will need to adopt and be aware of."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
