Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."Improved monitoring and performance management."
"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."
"It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."
"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"It's user friendly."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"Infrastructure Monitoring and End User Monitoring are the product’s most valuable features to me."
"Real time database monitoring and alerting are valuable."
"It provides a history of the activities on our SQL servers."
"Dell Foglight does analyze and optimize your virtual infrastructure. It definitely reduces operational cost."
"With the APM you can replay the end user session and see issues quickly by viewing the session."
"Sometimes we can solve problems before they occur."
"FxV is valuable as we can playback the session."
"The most valuable feature is drill-down monitoring, which shows us from one interface the transaction chain from the front end to back end."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."
"Minor stability issues."
"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"The tool is expensive."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"The “cartridge” concept for every little thing is a bit of a bother to implement."
"It needs a more intuitive way to create and implement custom "Cartridges" to be deployed through out a Federated environment."
"My only complaint from Foglight for monitoring is that you only get a plot for five minute average for metrics like CPU and Memory, on the application side I can see metrics more quickly at 15 seconds for metrics like active sessions, heap. I would like to see the same for CPU and memory."
"I think installation and setup needs little more improvement especially when you are installing with external database."
"The version compatibility needs work."
"There are some metrics I'd like to track that are difficult to find or implement into a tracking solution without a lot of manual work."
"I want to see mobile access application in the next release."
"I would perhaps like to see more SSMS connections."
