During upgrades, plugins take on 2 different architectures - some are built as standard WebLogic composites, allowing hot upgrades and installation (meaning you don't have to have an outage for the OEM Management System (OMS) in order to complete the installation. Others are more complex requiring specific outage windows during which time the OMS will not be able to monitor targets (often the OEM Agents are still operating, and collecting information, but you need to develop standalone OS-based alerting on the individual boxes to leverage an individual Agent's ability to provide outage notifications when the OMS is down.) These OMS-downtime upgrades and installations can also be the most prone to potential failure during installation requiring complete system rollback to a backup point.

OAM is updated frequently and only incurs momentary downtime when sortware homes are being switched between pre- and post-patch versions. Agent patching is similar to on-premise, requiring no downtime.

The stability of Oracle Enterprise Manager is very good.

When it first came out, and I started using it, I was working for Oracle in Oracle Education. You could utilize it, and the SQL behind it to gather statistics was wrong. But they have that sorted out now, and things are looking up today.

The product is very stable and doesn't take up a lot of resources. We have seen products that work well in the short-term, but that cause more harm. What was supposed to be a small footprint, ends up chewing up all the box’s resources, whereas that's not the case with this product.

Lead Oracle Database Administrator at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

With Enterprise Manager, you've got a tool that's providing end-to-end administration and monitoring of your IT infrastructure. The tool, therefore, has to have a very smooth way to configuring so that it is highly available. This, of course, plays a very important role in functionality because you don't want the tool to be a single point of failure.

So Oracle has claimed that they've enhanced that part of Enterprise Manager. For me, that's important because as a data architect, I play a lot of roles and I've been able to configure the tool to have four nines of High Availability. If you have a tool that you depend on for monitoring and administrating your entire IT infrastructure, the last thing you want is for it to have an level of unavailability.

Database Manager at Gantek

It's a stable product. For the most part, they have quite a stable system. However, there are at times difficulties with the project server. They have a very big container program in their project server as Enterprise Manager is running in the project server. The old configuration was more difficult, and, in any case, users need to be precise with their configurations to ensure stability.

When I was administering the database using that EM, it was quite amazing. However, in terms of usability and other things, I can't say much because I haven't used it yet in a production line. So far, I haven't had issues with stability, but it's still too soon to tell.

it_user448812

Senior Managing Consultant at a tech consulting company with 501-1,000 employees

Multi-Data Center High Availability monitoring, alerting and management is the largest challenge as there is a single repository database that is located in a single data center, therefore running across multiple data centers still ties back to a single repository database which runs from one of the data centers, but can distribute the OEM Console and Management servers in each of the data centers. All this works without issue, but the repository traffic from multiple data centers can be a challenge going back to another data center where the repository database resides.

It is buggy in certain process, but every Oracle product has bugs, although unless you really hit it you would never really come to know about it. For example, one of the Java processes within OEM chews up the entire CPU. This is an obvious bug, but there is a patch that can be applied to correct the issue.

Once the product is deployed, it is very stable. In fact by the definition of it being a management and monitoring utility, it must be highly stable and available. Enterprise Manager has self-monitoring features built in as well to notify administrators immediately if it is not available. There are a number of articles in My Oracle Support that show how to have other third-party products monitoring Enterprise Manager as well.

Stability on 13c has been fairly good. I haven't had any major issues with 13c where it's panic for no reason and just gone dead or anything like that. In 12, again, didn't really have any major stability issues there of it panicking or blowing up.
