We performed a comparison between IBM SevOne Network Performance Management (NPM) and Oracle Enterprise Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One of the solution's biggest strengths is its capacity management performance, with out-of-the-box reports through NMS, as well as its ability to collect NetFlow-related data from devices. The collection of network performance and flow data is important because we have many critical business applications."
"The comprehensiveness of this solution's collection of network performance and flow data is one of the basics in the field for what it does. It meets all of our needs. So for all those areas, for the most straightforward collection capabilities, right up to NetFlow and even telemetry, it meets all those demands. Not only just basic or fundamental SNMP collection capability, but the product also supports what we need for the future with telemetry streaming. So it's very comprehensive."
"Flexible architecture: You can extend the system and its capacity by attaching another cluster pair."
"The out of the box reports and workflows are pretty good and they meet our requirements well."
"It's given us the ability to create various real-time network performance reports and distribute them to any colleague who can access these reports immediately."
"The modules and the performance management reports that come with data insights are two of the most valuable features. I also find the reports for Wi-Fi, Netflow, LAN, and WAN for monitoring to be very good."
"We find that the reporting is particularly valuable in terms of not only communicating with our peer teams but also with the executives."
"The most valuable feature as of late has been the API integration with ServiceNow."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"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."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"There is no service mode setup in this monitoring tool if you want to snooze alerts for any specific amount of time, to account for any activity change or major incident."
"NMS has several areas for improvement. It should be more user-friendly inside of NMS for some of the functionality in there. It's been getting better the last version or two, but the there have been bugs in there whenever I've gone to new versions."
"The customizations are very hard. The person doing it has to be very good at analytics and has to be very good in all languages"
"Telemetry is hot these days, and IBM can improve SevOne's support for telemetry correction. Reporting is another feature that could be better. It provides the bare minimum functionality, which is good enough for most engineers, but the management isn't advanced. The new portal provides a much lighter view and better visualization, but the management is not so good."
"In terms of having a complete view of our network performance, I would rate it a nine out of 10. The reason for not giving it a 10 is that there is no packet capture associated with SevOne, but we do have other tools in place to do that."
"The one area with room for improvement is probably administration. They added data insights to make a better user experience, but I'd like to see some improvements in the way the system's administered."
"User-friendly, multi-tenancy."
"SevOne should work with the graphs legend functionality."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
