Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"It's user friendly."
"The up-to-date graphs and the history are very good."
"Speed of deployment is one of the most valuable features."
"The tool is integrated with our email for the alerts."
"Its proactiveness is its most valuable feature. We already know when we come in, in the morning, if a server or site is down, as opposed to someone telling us."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"PRTG Network Monitor's best features are its flexibility, ease of implementation, user-friendliness, and intuitive interfaces."
"The fact that I can use custom MIB files to customize my sensors for the things that are not there as a default is a good feature."
"The alerting is the most valuable feature. I also like the iPhone app. I get alerts in an email on the iPhone app."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"The solution is considered expensive."
"Technical support could be faster."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"I've encountered a challenge in my functions, particularly in adding and printing."
"PRTG Network Monitor should improve the NetFlow dashboard, there is no flexibility, and the NetFlow is not meeting the business needs. Additionally, they are missing part of the configuration management."
"The inventory of the device should be improved."
"The technical support service should be improved."
"PRTG Network Monitor can improve the reports. In the reports, you have to give an alert for that SMS and email, the emergency calls and downtimes have to be reported accordingly. You have to enable email services or an SMS gateway service to receive more alerts at the proper time."
"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."
"We've had some issues previously with the performance of the sensors. We tend to deploy quite a bit of WMI, which is quite processor-intensive, and we've found that that impacts the sensors quite a bit."
"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."
