We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Zenoss Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Server Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"The product offers good documentation that helps with initial training."
"The custom built integration is one of the most valuable features because you can see all the especially critical items."
"What I like most about Zenoss Service Dynamics is that it monitors the devices and gives close to real-time alerts. For example, in case the device is not available, Zenoss Service Dynamics generates an alert so my team can resolve the issue."
"The most valuable feature is the flexible discovery mechanism."
"It's easy to use."
"Its Docker Container concept is mind blowing. It is the first monitoring tool which comes with Docker features."
"They have also accommodated many state-of-the-art technologies like Docker and ZooKeeper."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"They should improve the hover text context. This would provide assistance whenever a task is attempted by a DBA."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"As Zenoss Service Dynamics is more for network-centric devices and you want to monitor, for example, a server, its services, IP addresses, and interfaces, if it's a network and you're going to monitor multiple items, you'll be charged multiple times. This is what Zenoss Service Dynamics needs to improve to make sure that customers pay just one fee to monitor the entire server. What I'd like to see in Zenoss Service Dynamics in the future is a public cloud monitoring feature, particularly for the Azure public cloud. Another additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is integration with the Azure public cloud because I know that there are some services from Azure that Zenoss Service Dynamics is currently unable to monitor."
"The inclusion of a feature to show a graphical view of the network would be a helpful improvement."
"It would be ideal if the product offered sound alerts."
"There was a problem with Zenoss and storage monitoring."
"Now it is stable, but they should design threshold parameters in percentage instead of raw values."
"The AI aspect needs to improve."
"There is room for improvement with the administrative part. They introduced Control Center to manage things in Zenoss 5. The services that Zenoss provides remained the same, but the administrative part, since they introduced Docker, etc., has become a little complex"
