HP OpenView (Discontinued) vs. Oracle Enterprise Manager vs. Serverless360

HP Openview really helped us when we migrated our old SAP Data from IBM Platform to OpenText.

OEM is very well suited for all Oracle products, especially Oracle databases and Exadata machines; even not Oracle hardware, it is very good and displaying high level details. OEM is not well suited for older hardware vendors like AIX, HP-UX, DEC/Digital, Microsoft (sql server). This is a big negative as most large companies have a heterogeneous environment with many different vendor hardware and (database) software products.

Serverless360 is a great tool for managing complex Azure serverless environments>it offers comprehensive monitoring,alerting, and automation features that are essential for maintaining the health and performance of our applications.However, for organizations with simpler setups or minimal Azure serverless usage, the advanced capabilities of Serverless360 may not be necessary. Overall it's been a valuable addition to our tool kit

• SAP Batch Job monitoring.
• File Systems
• Database Montioring

• Monitoring Templates: There are out of box monitoring templates for each target types, you can customize them or use them as it is.
• Administrative Groups: This is a relatively new feature in OEM Cloud Control. This lets you create and manage your targets and monitoring templates smarter and with less re-work.
• DB Monitoring: There are so many cool DB monitoring features and visual graphics, that it can be used by both DBA and functional people to see what's going on in the database.

• It provides comprehensive visibility of azure apps and manages several azure services in a safe way.
• It identifies and solves incidents efficiently and also pinpoints the root cause.
• Keeps track of enterprise wide information across integrations.

Incentivized

• Monitoring interface should be more user friendly.

• Bugs. Every version we upgrade to has a number of bugs. Some stop us from rolling to production OEM (we have a sandbox OEM), some are simply annoying. If I could improve on one thing, it would be for better QA from oracle before releasing each version.
• Flash. I'm told that they are moving from Flash to Jet in version 13.3 and beyond (we are on 13.2 currently). That change cannot come soon enough. The OEM pages load SO slowly due to Flash.
• Hierarchy Groups. OEM allows five Hierarchy groups. A Hierarchy group allows a top down metric/rule roll out. However, they limit you to five. I'd like to see them open that up, so that we can have any number of custom groups.

• Requires some initial configuration to make sure Azure resources are monitored correctly.
• Needs flexibility in the type of alerts you can setup.
• It maybe good to have more customized options.

It's great! It does everything and anything you would want it to do. It can monitor things which doesn't comes out of the box by adding plug ins to it, for example, you can even monitor Oracle GoldenGate Replication by adding a plug-in to OEM Cloud Control.

Turbo360 (formerly Serverless360) is the best software intelligence tool out there in market saving us time as it is easy to see data instantly. The software provides business and traffic data information helping our organization make scalability decisions.

I still rate OEM as a must-have tool for central management of Oracle fleet. The pros and cons of the product is prominent. Meanwhile, I also acknowledge that OEM was design about a decade ago. At that time, it did not have the landscape we have today, such as cloud, DEVOPS, machine learning, etc. I hope in future releases, the design will incorporate those features.

User friendly, easy to access and more detailed info during the monitoring.

Being an Oracle shop using Oracle Database and MySQL, management console from Oracle was a better choice than IBM or Microsoft even though we do use Microsoft Azure and storage/servers from IBM (on-prem).

Metric monitoring in Serverless360 is the best. It eliminates the lengthy process of manually looking through error logs and immediately performs root cause analysis on problems as they arise giving insight into the Azure environment. The team can foresee and fix issues. Our team could safely transfer the less valued support task to the L1 support person and free up the skilled Azure resources to focus on the development of the business.

I work with OEM SCP team. They are great.

• Biggest support in maintaining 10,000 Linux servers.

• We are a 7x24 shop. Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control helps us meet that objective by proactively warning us before issues cause down time. Things like disk space, archive log issues or temporary table space issues.
• Spreading the use of this tool outside of the DBA group has allowed us to not hire additional personnel for those teams. Over time, as folks have retired from our operations team, we are not replacing them. Instead we have used OEM Cloud Control to automate tasks.
• We also now have the tools to measure up-time by using specific measurements inside of OEM. This allows us to report real numbers to management.

• Serverless360 has greatly improved our business operations.
• it helps us detect and solve issues faster leading to happier customer and increased productivity.
• it help us save money by optimizing our cloud resources
