Pros
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution.""It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool.""Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers.""It is a comprehensive, end-to-end solution for managing database consolidation, something that has been missing and difficult to do.""The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none.""The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us.""We can manage everything in our environment."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Pros →

"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training.""They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper.""Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features.""It's easy to use.""The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items.""The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism.""What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."

Cons
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome.""Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different.""They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA.""I would like to improve the cost.""Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics.""We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge.""In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cons →

"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex""There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring.""It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts.""As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor.""The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement.""The AI aspect needs to improve.""Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
  • "As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
  • "The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
  • "The pricing is very high."
  • "We are satisfied with the pricing."
  • "There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
  • "Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."
  • "Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
  • More Oracle Enterprise Manager Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It depends on the customer, what he wants."
  • "It is very cost-effective compared to the tools I worked with in the past. The company is gaining a lot with respect to the cost factor. It provides agentless monitoring and in a very cheap way."
  • "The pricing depends on the environment, the number of services, and the size of the data center. It can go from $100,000 to a million dollars."
  • "There are additional costs you'll have to pay apart from the license fee for Zenoss Service Dynamics. I can't remember exactly how much my company is paying because I don't handle the finance part, but the cost is paid annually. On a scale of one to five, with one being the cheapest and five being the most expensive, I'm rating the solution three out of five."

    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.”
