"Once this solution is configured, it will help administrators centralize their management of the environment.""Another feature is the Resource Manager, where we can manage the consumption of resources of certain queries, separately in resource groups. Depending on the characteristics of the query, queries can be placed in groups that consume less database and hardware resources.""Advisors provide quick access to Insight and best practice information for performance tuning and configuration.""The solution helps database tuning through query ID and SQL ID; we can fine-tune skill parameters and gather information to enhance operational analysis and performance.""The tool is mainly for monitoring databases, especially focusing on performance. It supports various databases, including Oracle, allowing daily activity monitoring. The solution enables displaying performance metrics, providing continuous tracking. It also offers management capabilities for connected databases, featuring graphical performance graphs. Users can perform tasks like killing sessions and controlling database elements. Additionally, it allows viewing tables, SAN disks, and other database components.""It is a highly stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""The solution is stable. It is great in terms of Oracle products, especially for Oracle databases.""The valuable feature is job scheduling. It manages the database's scheduling, history, and growth, helping monitor CPU and space usage across the entire data center. It provides a comprehensive view of operations."

Cons
"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly.""We have not been able to use deduplication.""Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud.""Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish.""We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning.""SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."

More IBM Spectrum Computing Cons →

"There is a lack from the point of view of monitoring on the system. The performance of the system and its resources are things that I think can be improved. There needs to be real-time monitoring available on the solution.""Because all our banking infrastructure is based on Oracle, I’ve tried to register Enterprise Manager on the middleware level, let's say, WebLogic applications. But I cannot say that I can do all the administration from Enterprise Manager, that I can do from the WebLogic Admin Console. So, I think here it needs some improvement: Things that you can do on the WebLogic Admin Console, you should be able to do them on the Enterprise Manager, so you don’t have to log into the Admin Console.""Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to improve its GUI.""The response time of the solution's technical support team is too long and should 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.""Because this solution provides insight into all of the areas within the IT stack, it would benefit from enhancements in security.""Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control needs to monitor other Oracle tools as well. It should also improve its pricing.""Another point that can be improved is the agent instability in the monitored hosts, because sometimes an agent has to be resynchronized to recapture the information."
