Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."Oracle Enterprise Manager triggers critical alerts."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"It is the best database management system."
"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."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"The real-time monitoring feature in PRTG is invaluable to me"
"This solution provides us with the needed feedback on our IT infrastructure. It allows us to grab all the information from a single point of view."
"Technical support has been very helpful so far."
"I like the mobility of the PRTG Network Monitor and ITOps Dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is being able to see things graphically."
"PRTG Network Monitor helps us quickly and easily discover a large number of sensors, so we can spend minimal time monitoring customer sites."
"It is easy when it comes to dependencies of devices, so if your router goes down, the three or four switches behind it will automatically be paused so that you don't get multiple alerts."
"The most valuable features of PRTG Network Monitor are bandwidth utilization, user-friendliness, all past report simple retrievals, and timeout features. Additionally, if the solution does go down it is simple to bring it back."
"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."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"There's always room for improvement. The high availability feature is good, but it's an area that PRTG could marginally improve. For example, in PRTG, both servers have a different IP, but it would make things a lot easier if they were bound by a single IP."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in this solution for the performance and third-party monitoring protocols. They need to be updated to the latest ones."
"The thing that we do struggle with a bit is in the historic data. If I want look over 30 days, because it averages out onto one graph, you can't zoom in and drill down information."
"It probably has this already, but if it had a mobile app that would be helpful. For example, on a day like today when I'm out, if I could just fire it up and see green, green, green, green, green or red, that would be good."
"We're using more cloud services now. It would be useful to be able to get information back from these cloud services in detail, and display any issues within PRTG for the rest of our systems."
"Scalability is the only major sticking point for me. There is a recommended number of sensors, which is around 10,000 and we're double that... The only option we have to scale is to buy another core, which would be a separate, stand-alone instance..."
"The scalability of this solution could improve as well as the automated provisioning of the infrastructure."
