Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"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."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"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."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"Some of the most valuable features are its real-time performance view/dashboard, metric history, real-time monitoring and alerts, as well as quick access to Oracle's tuning and diagnostic options."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"The product is easy to use and the web interface is fantastic."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to span multiple technologies and multiple vendors."
"There is a simplicity to setting up the extra sensors. It's really easy for us to build infrastructure and start monitoring very quickly."
"The real-time monitoring and alerting are its most valuable features."
"The feature whereby it shows when my hard drives are moving towards thresholds that would be considered outages, before they reach that point - that is valuable."
"The remote probes are very useful. They allow us to provide a reference across different areas in the network. In trying to localize issues, that's very useful."
"It is able to satisfy all our requirements in terms of email notifications and specific errors on the devices."
"The most valuable feature of PRTG Network Monitor is the different monitoring probes available."
"The tool is expensive."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"PRTG's application monitoring sensor is not strong."
"Their penetration within the market could be much better. If their pricing was lower, even though it's reasonable now, it might help them achieve this."
"In a very few cases, customers want more detailed reports, which we cannot meet."
"The operations dashboard is only available in PRTG's enterprise version, but I wish it could be accessed in the standard licensing. It would also be nice if PRTG had templates for dashboard monitoring, software monitoring, etc. It can help me set up a dashboard because now we don't have a template from PRTG, so we need to create one from scratch."
"Maybe in the future there will be room for improvement, but currently, there is nothing pressing that I can think of"
"I would like to have a VM version that can be installed on a cloud such as Azure. We're using Azure, and we're eliminating on-premise servers. It would be helpful to have a PRTG version that can be installed on the Azure cloud."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve Layer 2 and Layer 3 network maps and the GUI more user-friendly. Additionally, they should bundle the features so I can monitor everything on one particular device."
"Needs ability to monitor standard notification time (notify after X time)."
