Performance issues have been identified and monitored effectively during peak hours

The weaknesses I would like to address in Oracle Enterprise Manager involve the dealing of Grid Infrastructure. Oracle Enterprise Manager's handling of Grid Infrastructure needs some improvement. I want to see additional features in the future that deal with security in relation to Oracle Grid Infrastructure. I want to improve these two components.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We were able to perform major system maintenance on our production system after performing a switch or production role swap."

"No system downtime High Availability (HA)."

"It has helped us cut down process time and manpower."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's very easy to implement the solution. Deployment took about one hour. You only need one person for deployment and maintenance, so long as that person has a good background of administration and operation."

"It's used in our new architecture, for production, HA/DR and it works with different data groups."

"In case we have an emergency or a sudden issue on the production system, we can put our point of sale terminals in local mode for 1 hour, switch over to the backup system, verify that all is running OK, then the POS systems can reconnect, and our users can sign on again and continue working."

"Complete/custom machine real-time replication process (including apply and verification of destination)."

"It allowed us to have a stable, low maintenance, worry free disaster recovery solution that we can present to our management and our clients."

More MIMIX [EOL] pros

"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."

"From my point of view, I've found OEM to be one of the easier products to deal with; it's the product that I use day in daily to view all of my databases, and the fact that I can actually integrate multiple databases and multiple middleware solutions into one single point is perfect for me, so I'm really happy with it."

"In fact, I've already met many people in which I have done just that."

"It is a must if you have more than a couple of databases to monitor and manage, it can also do a lot of other stuff and monitor various types of targets."

"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."

"I really love this tool because I don't need to type the commands, it's very user friendly, I just click and get the reports and get it done."

"It's very insightful when it comes to what you can check healthwise on a database."

"With standardized monitoring templates and incident rule sets, we are able to consistently monitor, manage and alert all DBAs in each group to the same level SLA for our customer's needs."

Cons

"Replication of the IBM i spooled files and files on the IFS system (Windows-like environment). About 1/2 the time, we have to nudge the system a bit to get the file(s) over."

"Could make it easier to fix object errors."

"OS version compatibility needs work."

"Switch procedures are not as easy and straightforward as it may seem at first glance."

"Replication errors need to be resolved."

"Installation is pretty easy but it can be fairly complicated to setup and configure."

"The monitoring part of MIMIX - VSP (Vision Solutions Portal) needs some improvements."

"Monitoring tools can be improved but are very useful already."

More MIMIX [EOL] cons

"I don't think anybody can walk on water. Software is buggy and that's the nature of the beast."

"If it had more drill-down facilities, that would be great."

"Setting up provisioning can be challenging. Also there are a lot of bugs and some specific to platforms."

"Customer Service: Appalling, raised issues with support and that take ages to respond.Technical Support: Appalling; they take far too long to understand the issue, they just simply appear to read scripts; if our problem is not on the script; then they struggle to think."

"With any Oracle protocol, and Enterprise Manager is one of them, as far as the interface is concerned, it's not good and is still pretty ugly."

"The support is not good for this product. The enterprise system that I have is kind of complex."

"The reports are very busy."

"It was a very, very complicated product to set up."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."

"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."

"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 license is good but can be improved."

"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."

"Evaluate your requirements carefully. Elaborate DR and HA setup of OEM can become expensive."

"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."

"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
