Find out in this report how the two Cloud Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The dashboard and reporting help us to do preventative AI and analytics to detect performance bottlenecks."
"Advisors provide quick access to Insight and best practice information for performance tuning and configuration."
"You can create a system group (database, application, and web server), so you can monitor performance as a system."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control has an amazing GUI interface that does a lot of tasks with fewer steps rather than making it manual on the database or the operating system side."
"It is easier to manage your Oracle Database backups and create email alerts regarding the status of your backups (Succeeded or Failed)."
"If you're using Oracle products, you should definitely use Oracle Enterprise Manager because it is central to product management."
"Another feature is the Resource Manager, where we can manage the consumption of resources of certain queries, separately in resource groups. Depending on the characteristics of the query, queries can be placed in groups that consume less database and hardware resources."
"Using Enterprise Manager, I was able to create user profiles for all the instances that have the same profile. Secondly, it's easier to manage performance, to automate the AWR reports to run every half an hour, or hour. Then, if you have a performance issue you just open the report and you can see what was running the last one hour, the SQL statements, or what was causing the performance issues."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that difficult."
"To manage when VM's aren't being used, we have it set up so that it will auto-destroy them after a certain amount of time, obviously with permission from the user who owns it."
"It has integration with the rest of VMware solutions."
"The automation part is valuable, especially where vRA integrates with vRO, because it reduces the amount of effort we have to make."
"The product's most valuable features are ease of automation."
"The setup is getting better with each version."
"Instead of only deploying templates, we can deploy blueprints which are easier on day-to-day operations."
"The infrastructure has helped us to greatly increase our agility."
"You cannot use Enterprise Manager as replacement for a WebLogic console."
"The on-premises installation is complex. It should be easier, especially for deploying agents that are running on a Windows machine that is running Oracle databases. It's very complex. Linux based machines aren't so complicated but it's complex for Windows."
"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."
"They need to simplify it and make it lighter."
"Oracle Data Guard monitoring: There are no alerts for redo log transport failure."
"The configuration is not straightforward for web continuity. It needs some improvement and the deployment is expensive."
"The response time of the solution's technical support team is too long and should be improved."
"I've had both positive and negative experiences with support. Its compatibility with the rest of the products in the market is less."
"We still struggle a little bit with the configuration as far as making sure that we have all the endpoints where they need to be, because that's not as agile as we'd like in the back-end. We're working towards that with our DevOps teams to make sure that we're touching the right endpoints and getting the right data."
"It does go down from time to time. We have some issues with the appliances sometimes and we have to do reboots in the middle of the day. That affects the ability for them to deploy."
"We had a lot of issues at first. Especially with doing any kind of upgrades, it was a complete tear-down and a complete rebuild of all the Blueprints. The upgrade process was not easy or intuitive at all. But it seems to be getting better."
"We have seen some issues with upgrades or installations. This means we have to raise a call every time with VMware."
"VMware needs to make it to where it is not as custom. Right now, you spend a lot of time making the services work. In order to get it up and running initially, that takes time."
"7.5 is not user-friendly, in fact, it's a nightmare. They changed everything on the graphic user interface, the mode where the user interacts with the product."
"It was a complex setup. We had to use the consultant from VMware to make the solution work well."
"The initial setup was not straightforward. It was not simple, and we had a PoC. We had VMware help us deploy it, and it took them an exorbitant amount of time."
