"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.""The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products.""It's user friendly.""This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues.""Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs.""We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration.""The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature.""The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."

Cons
"Our customers would like to see the price lowered.""I think that support integration could be improved.""The quality of service and support for this solution needs to be improved.""The product should increase the processing capacity and allow speedy deployment, as both of them are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The return on investment report is too difficult to understand.""If the solution could provide better integration to make it easier to manage everything on different servers, that would be helpful. Whatever servers a company has, be it IBM, Dell, etc., if the System Management could be a platform that links all of them together, it would make management across different server types easier."

"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses.""We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge.""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.""There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user.""Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different.""I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive.""I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management.""The solution is not as simple as people say it is."

    • Database management: Oracle’s Database management provides a full lifecycle solution for updates and configuration management, patching, provisioning, testing, performance management and automatic tuning.

    • Application performance management (APM): User and database monitoring with diagnostics and performance analysis that provide rich reporting on real user activities.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Oracle Enterprise Manager stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its central management and monitoring and its reporting capabilities

    Robin C., head of Oracle Exadata Centre of Excellence at Tata Consultancy Services, writes, "The database performance monitoring features are very useful and allow us to quickly zero in on DB-related issues. Exadata storage server and Infiniband switches can be viewed from the GUI in OEM which cannot be done in other tools. The ability to deploy metric extensions makes this tool extensible for our custom monitoring also."

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A database manager at a tech services company notes, “The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics.  They have plug-ins that are very helpful. Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product. They have a very nice graphical user interface. The monitoring is good. We can capture the SQL tune from us. With Oracle Enterprise Managers, we can see the rich performance tuning.”
