**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 22, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

In the management of environments that are constituted by a very complex information technology infrastructure and with a wide variety of services and solutions (Oracle and other providers), it is important to consider obtaining an administration, management and security tool that presents a centralized approach and that assumes the responsibility of monitoring each of the components, services, systems and sessions, in addition to managing the status of servers, databases, backup process executions, replicas, etc., which supports administrators of databases and infrastructure in facilitating the centralization of solutions and identification of environmental incidents. This tool is Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

The use of the tool in the simple management scenario, as presented by the manufacturer, has a friendly and simple interface, I consider it easy to learn, very intuitive and always guiding the user from the general to the specific, their Graphs are very useful in identifying components and services. However, when it comes to complex configurations in the development of monitoring processes, configuration of replicas, execution of planned works, configuration of alarm thresholds and their corresponding self-management it is required to incorporate advanced training to users and administrators by Oracle. University in addition to widely recommend the accompaniment and incorporation of specialized advice in the management of the tool and that endorses the certification of the platform and its processes. This causes incurring high additional costs for the use of the tool.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

I recommend the use of this tool in environments of any size and complexity, I have obtained benefits for its centralized approach, extensibility in the diversity of Oracle solutions and other manufacturers. It has an additional amount of benefits that simplify and optimize time and cost.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I highly recommend the use of this tool in environments of any size and complexity, I have obtained benefits for its centralized approach, extensibility in the diversity of Oracle solutions such as RDBMS, OCR, Fusion Middleware, OEM Job Scheduler, load and performance reports generated by the AWR, ADDM, ASH viewers, domain scalability in cloud configurations and an additional amount of benefits that simplify and optimize time and cost of administration for the company.

  ### 10. Usability Órale enterprise

**Reviewed by:** Olga G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

With a simple glance, you can see the general state of the database.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

There are functions that need to be contracted to be activated. They should already come integrated, like those processes that block the database.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It has helped me solve performance issues.

  ### 11. Database lifeline

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gaurav O. | Sr Consultant, Information Technology and Services, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

The best part is we can manage the Oracle databases fro mthe dashboard itself , a lot of features , the more i explore the more i am amazed , The database query tuning is one feaure i have always used. If the queries are running slow or the application is sluggish, OEM is the first place we login ot find more insights. The patching features is really boon for DBA's , it helps us to manage the databases and keep them updated centrally. i also use it to monitor the applications like PeopleSoft , we have created Beacons that are used to monitor and check the login for The peopleSoft applications , we are managing hundreds of  Oracle Databases and multiple PeopleSoft application instances using OEM

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

Intuitive clicking or drill down , like database performance analyzer does , i do not like the way information is presented in different tabs and links and navigation , i need to remember where i need to go to get what , i central drill down for complete information. Also the user interface is old and can be moreintuitive with minimum investment.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

Please explore the product as it has many new feature in version 13 

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OEM helps us for patching , perfromance tuning and database issue resolution , there are multiple places and scenarios this has helped us , we use for issue resoltion ,alert setup and proactive monitoring

  ### 12. Oracle Enterprise Manager - All in One Suite

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Danny H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

Managing server and databases in one single platform with a relatively user friendly graphical user interface.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

There are too many features scattered all over the platform, sometimes trying to look for certain items can be challenging.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

It is a good platform for managing all Oracle products and solutions.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing Oracle Databases and Linux Servers throughout an organization with over hundreds of instances. Using Oracle Enterprise Manager makes it easier and much simplified approach to control and manage these instances. This is extremely useful for someone who do not use command line execution, with the graphical user interface, it allows administrators to easily issue command and instruction to the database execution.
Also, with the capability to see all servers in one place, administrators can observe the status of the servers easily and also issuing commands with much less clicks rather than going into individual servers to manage them. 

  ### 13. Oracle Enterprise Manager - Improving with age

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 09, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

I have worked with OEM for several years monitoring various versions of Oracle and other products.  I like that they continue to improve it and make it easier to use.  It is also easier now to monitor other products with add-ins to the tool.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

OEM has a steep learning curve.  Not every thing operates the exact same way.  It takes time and effort to set it up.  

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

If Oracle is your primary platform, then this tool is a must.  Not using it would be like driving your car without a dashboard.  It was created initially for Oracle's Database engine, but now it can do so much more.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OEM allows us to monitor our mission critical databases and servers.  It allows us to be proactive by warning us of resource issues before they cause down time.  It also helps us to tune poor performing code which is critical when processing large amounts of data.

  ### 14. good for monitoring Oracle

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 11, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

I think my favorite part is the ability to set up alerts.  Monitoring Top activity and the interface to run the SQL advisor are what I use the most though.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

I need to learn or it needs to be easier to run thing from the command line.  Would be nice is connectors to other programs/applications/etc. worked as well as the Oracle side does.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

Be advised it costs extra, as does the Diagnostic and tuning packages, but they are worth it.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

General tuning using Top Activity and the SQl advisor.  Also the interface for creating SQL Profiles and/or baselines.  Along with other tools, have sped up batch jobs and help screens be quicker.  Also use alerts.  We have a couple of programs that need upgraded that flake out occasionally and use OEM to monitor those as well.  Could probably use some other thing, but OEM is already set to go.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2018

OEM is one of the top notch application we are using it in our environment. It gives real time depth analysis report for continuous monitoring. we use OEM for to monitor our SOA stacks. we do use for DB monitoring for performance tuning. we high recommend OEM for large scale enterprise applications.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

Despite the over experience is good, we do see some issues with the OEM schema DB's and performance been hit low some time. The loading time of all components takes 1 to 2 min which is quite bad for operation team.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In-depth analysis of the middleware components and reports generation which is quite good for capacity management. if you have large scale enterprise application that need high level of monitoring then I would certainly recommend OEM is the product.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In my opinion as a database administrator and the business intelligence platform of the company, the integration of Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g and Oracle Business Intelligence 11g allowed us to manage and monitor the performance of BI from the same environment. Likewise, we make it easy to configure, test, implement, monitor, install patches and allow continuous availability, with superior security, scalability and query performance.

**Reviewed by:** Bo A. | Oracle DBA, Plastics, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

 Resource Manager GUI, once you get the concept of resource manager it is much easier to set up "usage restriction" via Resource Manager Console than SQL PLUIS. Ability to write metric and deploy them to multiple databases. Scheduling RMAN backup jobs are much easier with EM console. Ability to monitor the host availability.

Database->Control (Startup and Shutdown). I never use this feature because it is much slower than connecting via sqlplus and do a shutdown or startup

**Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2017

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

I could see tickets from other stores on this system. tickets would remain active until closed. Easy to use to collaborate with 3rd party.

sometimes we would have to call in a site admin to force closure on tickets.
when updating tickets, we had to update them using a drop down tab, if anything were to change, it would not allow for us to update it to closure. the occasional need for an admin to override everything was annoying

its really not a bad system once the quarks are figured out.

  ### 45. Gets the job done 

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Utilities | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 21, 2017

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

This software has a lower learning curve than other database management software. For example, because the user interface is graphical, you do not need to know SQL to find what you want and is much more user friendly. Good for someone who is trying to learn database management and branch off into more advanced Oracle software. 

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

While good for beginners to get an idea of database management, you need to eventually use other Oracle software in conjunction with this one because you can't do everything with it. Also it can be slow with debugging and sometimes you have to reboot after large changes are made.  

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

Great for simple tasks, but make sure to use software that implements SQL for specific tasks.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Figuring out priority in which powerlines need repairs or regular maintenance. Managing projects has become easier using this software.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2018

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

I find it nice that OEM provides a graphical way to manage both our database and E-Business Suite. It's great being able to see that all the information you need is in front of you on the screen. There are links that allow you to kill sessions or to check your performance. With other solutions, you just see numbers go by on a screen.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Manager?**

It can be a process hog sometimes. When I do leave it running, the CPU fan kicks on, and I can hear it running. Otherwise, it's a great tool.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Manager:**

It's a very flexible, straightforward installation. It's user friendly, usable day by day and we can see the database monitoring, host monitoring, everything.

workhorses of your company’s IT systems. And there is nothing more crucial than the proper maintenance of your workhorse. For that, many people choose Oracle.

 Oracle is not the most elegant DBMS and not always the fastest either. But in the early 90s, it had successfully carved out a niche for itself in the relational DBMS product spheres.
