More integration with other databases including DB2 **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rodrigo M. | IT Manager , Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2019 **What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?** We are very happy with OEM 13c and the main features we liked is the automation patch feature and monitoring databases itself that make us easy to reach a rca and resolve some performance quickly. Also advisors and ASR and great features. The app navegability is good too. **What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?** Would be good to have more options on proxy configuration as some proxy products are different like bluecoat or may be more documentation on how configure it using this product. And on many environments we are having to create additional listeners on NOC network beacause network team restrict access from monitoring databases from NOC network and not uses data network interfaces. Would be great DB2 mainly integration (more than exists today) so we can used it as a pattern for our environment as IBM is not doing so much improvement on DSM Product. **What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** Resolving performance problems ### 42.

We use it for Oracle fusion middleware family and Databases **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jim R. | Team Manager, Hospital & Health Care, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 09, 2019 **What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?** Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a single point of control for your applications and databases. It provides out of box automation in form of monitoring templates and reporting templates. I also love the new Administrative Group introduced in 13.1 version onward. It's a single point for patch control for all your deployments being monitored through OEM. **What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?** While OEM makes monitoring super convenient and eliminates scope of human/scripting errors, administration using OEM requires special skills. Also, OEM is resouce intensive and uses flash for loading pages with heavy charts and diagrams on it. This is quite slow. I have heard that in the new versions, Oracle is planning to use Jet instead of Flash to handle the slow page loading problems. **Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:** There are multiple versions of the product available at the same time. We usually prefer to go one minor version less, since the most latest one is still being tested and not stable version. **What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?** We currently use it for monitoring our large number of Oracle and MS SQL databases as well as fusion middleware products.such as WebLogic, Tuxedo and Oracle BPM. ### 44.

Whether your group have a highly refined trade skill or a Masters degree, they will be able to integrate Oracle seamlessly. **What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?** My one and only complaint with this device is that you have to be connected on-site when opening the app for the first time.
