Extensive tool features support database monitoring, but support and pricing present challenges
I don't fully understand what improvements could be made in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. To make it better, more features could be added, but it is already a very complete tool, especially if you know how to configure it properly, as you can use it to monitor other databases such as PostgreSQL and SQL Server in addition to Oracle.

Centralized IaC workflows have reduced overhead but run‑based pricing still needs improvement
The best features Scalr offers include centralized state execution and flexible GitOps to CLI workflows, which are its main strengths. Centralized state execution helps my team by giving us more control over what happens on the execution agents. I use the GitOps CLI workflows in my daily work because they are easy to monitor, rather than giving access to all local providers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The valuable feature is job scheduling. It manages the database's scheduling, history, and growth, helping monitor CPU and space usage across the entire data center. It provides a comprehensive view of operations."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (EM CC) is the best product for monitoring many of the Oracle databases and other Oracle applications such as Siebel, E-Business Suite, WebLogic."
"It’s impressive how much better Oracle 13c is, how much improved it is over Oracle Grid Control 10."
"The tool's most valuable feature is notifications. It is also flexible in defining metrics where you can specify any metric type. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control helps monitor the resources you manage so that you do not overpay."
"The real-time threat detection has been the most valuable feature."
"OEM is invaluable in many ways, other products can replace bits of it - but the product should be used as a single point from which to view as much of your enterprise as possible."
"In summary, I would highly recommend this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle EMCC is its flexibility to manage various industries, projects, and tasks."
"I was able to deal with requests without needing every server on; I could turn them off."
"After all the years of helping enterprises implement API strategies at SmartBear, I can confidently say Scalr is what the industry has been waiting for."
"Scalr has positively impacted my organization by providing much less overhead for the creation of Terraform and other CLI workflows."
 

Cons

"Adding new databases is difficult in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control."
"I have registered a testing Microsoft SQL Server environment, but I did not find it very useful (it cannot be used as an alternative or as SQL Server Management Studio)."
"Another point that can be improved is the agent instability in the monitored hosts, because sometimes an agent has to be resynchronized to recapture the information."
"I've had both positive and negative experiences with support. Its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less."
"Yes, there are some bugs. Some of the screens sometimes do not load data, and sometimes the portal hangs."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control manages the monitoring and the graphs. Other tools complement the base monitoring. Zabbix is efficient with space pressure."
"The installation steps are very complex and the documentation for them is very generic and does not make very clear the correct steps from the installation to the addition of the host and database."
"The configuration is not straightforward for web continuity. It needs some improvement and the deployment is expensive."
"Scalr could be improved because it is another delivery stack, and understanding Terraform is necessary to use it effectively."
"We did use AWS autoscaling but Rackspace left something to be desired."
"Regarding licensing, if I buy a licensing key, it is beneficial, but if I have a lesser standing, it is not as good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our customer uses Oracle Universal Credits to pay for their license on an annual basis. The price is definitely affordable."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a pretty expensive solution but worth the money."
"The licensing costs are largely too high."
"We are using the free version. We are not using any licensed packages of Enterprise Manager, so I’m not quite sure how much each package is. As I understand it, there are different plug-ins that you need to buy for Enterprise Manager."
"I personally feel that the tool can be considered to be a little bit on the expensive side."
"One has to pay for the enterprise version."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control is a little expensive."
"The solution's pricing is fine."
