My company uses products like AppDynamics and Dynatrace, but the aforementioned products provide very little information related to middleware; because of this, our company uses Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

No different solution was used before.

The OEM requires a big infrastructure. Our company replicated the monitoring infrastructure and subsequently decided to utilize our Zabbix. Large companies provide us with a complimentary infrastructure to run OEM only after significant negotiation.

I’ve worked with Microsoft. I primarily focused on managing data. Some clients utilized Microsoft and Oracle servers, but most of the industry relied on Oracle services.

Prior to the current version, my customer was using version 11g.

I did not previously use a different product.

I used Oracle Grid Control 10 a few years ago, as a consultant, and it was very useful. So when I came here and we started having more and more environments, I said, “Okay, the only way to manage all these environments is to have Oracle Enterprise Manager." And it’s impressive how much better Oracle 13c is, how much improved it is over Oracle Grid Control 10.

We switched due to the ease of control in managing productivity and administration. We were not using that solution as heavily as we are using Oracle Control now. It was the mobile Microsoft SCOM security package.

I have used the earlier version (i.e version 11g) and also, I have used dbconsole (i.e., the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console dedicated to one server). I switched to this version so as to administer my database and the Exadata hardware from one point.

Yes, we evaluated Spotlight from Dell (Quest), but we chose OEMCC, since it has more features and requires no direct licensing.

I used some open-source products, like Zabbix. I moved from the open-source products over to Oracle EM because it has many embedded metrics.

I used Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control and switched because this is the updated version and it's in the cloud. There are a lot of benefits behind using the cloud, and we wanted to take advantage of using the cloud through this product.

No.

There was no previous solution. The solutions deployed had a fair Oracle footprint, so it was determined that OEM would be the best fit.

We were using Grid Control and we switched as we didn't have a place to have just one dashboard with everything on it.
