Datadog is good at collecting metrics, monitoring, and alerting; whereas, with Oracle Enterprise Manager, in addition to all that, we can manage the infrastructure as well as automate certain fixes.

OEM is better at monitoring applications, while SolarWinds is better at monitoring the underlying infrastructure such as networks, switches, and routers.

Foglight is great, but expensive. It has great monitoring like OEM, but can negatively impact database performance. OEM is better than Foglight because it is a native application from OEM and has features that Foglight doesn't have.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is better than Toad in that it allows you to do various server configurations that Toad doesn't allow.

Kibana from Elastic is another monitoring tool that claims to provide very similar information to OEM.
It seems to be an information tool rather than a tool that can actually make changes within a database.
I think Kibana is more robust for hardware versus database software so it …

I am using Nagios Enterprise monitoring tool also, but as compared to Nagios, Oracle Enterprise Manager is best for our company. Nagios is very weak in some aspects.

Have not tried via Oracle Enterprise Manager, but CommVault is used by corporate for all backups of storage. However, it is just using Ansible to kick off RMAN jobs.

Toad for Oracle is more suited for individual users who have a strong focus on database development, and it is not as comprehensive as Oracle Enterprise Manager. While it is quite decent in logical database layer tasks, such as schema objects and SQL, it lacks visibility into …

It is much simpler to install and configure as compared to Spotlight and Solarwinds.
Oracle Enterprise Manager measures performance diagnostics accurately and raises alerts and takes preventive actions. Other products can not take preventive actions even if they raise alerts. It …

Oracle Enterprise Manager is easy to install, use and extend the capability of. It supports many Oracle products, which is what it is used for in my company. We selected OEM for its ease of use, intuitiveness and robustness.

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.

Pros
Oracle
  • Database status. Being able to see which databases are up/down, at a glance, allows us to quickly react to issues.
  • Reporting. We report on last backups, daily status, a host of metrics, and compliance levels of all our databases. With reporting we come into the office with a set of "status" reports and we know instantly if a database has issues.
  • Metrics. We have a number of KPI's and SLA's we need to meet. Metrics applied to the databases allow us to stay on top of those requirements as well as fix common issues without a DBA needing to log in to assess the issue.

Cons
Oracle
  • We also use OEM to monitor SQL Server. However, OEM only provided limited features for SQL Server. It would be nice if we can schedule backup jobs for SQL Server in OEM.
  • The ability to run SQL queries. You can't run queries in OEM. I have to go to SQL Developer or SQL PLUS to run. queries.

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.

Toad for Oracle is more suited for individual users who have a strong focus on database development, and it is not as comprehensive as Oracle Enterprise Manager. While it is quite decent in logical database layer tasks, such as schema objects and SQL, it lacks visibility into host level and I/O layer performance stats.

  • When we were using Oracle GoldenGate, it made our life easy in terms of visually seeing the configuration and identifying issues easily
  • It also makes ASM management very easy instead of doing it in the command line
  • Creating policies and implementing certain standard configurations across all the databases is easy
