We performed a comparison between AWS Control Tower and Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are two features in Control Tower which are the most valuable. One is the guardrails because it has preventive and detective guardrails."
"The most intriguing feature is the automatic generation of user accounts. Leveraging Active Directory and global company settings, AWS Cloud Tower enables the creation of AWS user accounts based on job descriptions in Active Directory. This establishes a direct correlation between the user's name, job definition, and the corresponding rules applied to each account."
"It provides a central point for account management, access control, and compliance monitoring."
"It is incredibly user-friendly and functions seamlessly."
"It offers automated recommendations for security and policies, creating a landing zone and providing a list of policies."
"Compliance is the most valuable feature."
"With Control Tower, there are ready-to-use automated templates available, simplifying the implementation of a centralized management solution."
"Security is the most valuable feature of Control Tower."
"I use the solution for troubleshooting."
"Compared to other monitoring products, the user interface is very clear. It sends clear notifications."
"The report feature is very useful."
"If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle EMCC is its flexibility to manage various industries, projects, and tasks."
"From a performance perspective, the management capabilities of the product are very valuable to its customers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is notifications. It is also flexible in defining metrics where you can specify any metric type. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control helps monitor the resources you manage so that you do not overpay."
"The solution is reliable."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There aren't any additional features that I feel are missing. However, it's worth noting that Control Tower seems to function as a layer utilizing standard AWS products in the background. Occasionally, the interface may appear less streamlined, with changes in layout based on the underlying products being used. While this doesn't impact functionality, having a more standardized user interface, irrespective of the background products, could enhance the user experience."
"The product's affordability depends on the value it brings to specific organizations."
"It would be beneficial if AWS offered the capability to seamlessly deploy your infrastructure to another region to ensure continuous availability and redundancy."
"The integration with other AWS functions has room for improvement."
"The process of closing an AWS account using Control Tower needs improvements to simplify it, especially when managing multiple accounts."
"It is essential to clarify that this isn't necessarily a drawback of the service, but having a clear and concise set of predefined guidelines from AWS for moving existing accounts under AWS Control Tower would be highly beneficial as it would simplify the process and make it more user-friendly."
"The solution's stability could be improved."
"It's crucial to promptly resolve agent-related issues to ensure continuous and accurate monitoring of database features within the Oracle Enterprise Manager."
"They need to simplify it and make it lighter."
"The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows."
"The only negative thing about this product is that it doesn't support all environments or all applications."
"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"The installation steps are very complex and the documentation for them is very generic and does not make very clear the correct steps from the installation to the addition of the host and database."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"Sometimes the alerts are coming a bit late, for example, an alert for the CPU. It depends on the threshold that you have, how long you want to check the CPU of the machine. I got some faulty alerts with Data Guard. I had stopped a synchronization for maintenance and then I re-synchronized Oracle Data Guard. It took some time to appear in Enterprise Manager and send me the right notification that Data Guard was up and running and synchronizing. I realized this because I went directly into the database to check the status of Data Guard, and it was telling me that it was running okay. But in Enterprise Manager, it needed some more time to update the interface."
