More Oracle Enterprise Manager Pros →

"The security features are very valuable.""Tanium's most valuable feature is its instant discovery aspect.""I would say Tanium is the best tool for vulnerability management.""I'm not so familiar with the tool but I like the interaction of the console to the picture. Patching is the primary model I have been focusing on for the last couple of weeks. So I have created a proof of concept environment and have been checking the available features.""Threat hunting is a very good feature on Tanium. We have just started using it and have not used it extensively.""The interrogation piece was the most valuable feature because it was very detailed.""I like the fact that you can create patching campaigns depending on the area of your network that you want to address first. I like the ability it has to make several campaigns that work in parallel.""For incident response tasks, all these tasks can get done in minutes with minimal disruption to the end-user."

Cons
"The product must improve its support team.""Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics.""The deployment is not straightforward.""The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU.""The tool's pricing is costly.""The tool is expensive.""In my experience, the monitoring could be improved.""Technical support could be faster."

More Oracle Enterprise Manager Cons →

"The performance could improve in future releases. We have had performance issues in specialized web environments, but overall I think the problems are less than 2% of the computer systems being used.""The reporting could be improved.""The solution needs to improve the reporting and tracking capabilities.""Any movement into a SaaS solution has challenges since the processes and data flows are not well defined. Hence, you need to build it at the same time.""Most of the time, agent-relative issues have to be more equipped with self-healing features. At times, the agent is there, but for some reason, it doesn't report a status. It gives certain problems that are obviously agent-based.""They could improve the UI.""The solution can give a lot of false positives.""The solution lacks mobility."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Oracle Enterprise Manager stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its central management and monitoring and its reporting capabilities

    Robin C., head of Oracle Exadata Centre of Excellence at Tata Consultancy Services, writes, "The database performance monitoring features are very useful and allow us to quickly zero in on DB-related issues. Exadata storage server and Infiniband switches can be viewed from the GUI in OEM which cannot be done in other tools. The ability to deploy metric extensions makes this tool extensible for our custom monitoring also."

    PeerSpot users note the effectiveness of these features. A database manager at a tech services company notes, “The solution's most valuable aspect is the fact that it is embedded with the Oracle database and Oracle's engineering system, its extra data, and analytics.  They have plug-ins that are very helpful. Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product. They have a very nice graphical user interface. The monitoring is good. We can capture the SQL tune from us. With Oracle Enterprise Managers, we can see the rich performance tuning.”

    Tanium Endpoint Platform reduces security risk, improves agility & increases efficiency, a fundamentally new approach to endpoint security's threat detection, indicent response, vulnerability assessment and configuration compliance & with management's software distribution, asset utilization, asset inventory and patch management.
