User Testimonials
	Oracle Enterprise Manager	Oracle Observability and Management
Likelihood to Recommend	Oracle 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. Incentivized MS Maurice Samuels DBA Read full review	Oracle If you are using the Oracle database or services in Oracle Cloud, Observability and Management is a must-use service. Many components of O&M service are free, and the others are not that expensive either Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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.

Usability	Oracle Navigation is clean and neat. Incentivized KZ Kevin Zhang Manager of Oracle Infrastructure Read full review	Oracle Oracle Observability and Management is a valuable tool for monitoring, troubleshooting, and capacity planning Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Oracle 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. Incentivized KZ Kevin Zhang Manager of Oracle Infrastructure Read full review	Oracle The product management team is very responsive. They are on LinkedIn and Twitter, responding to your questions and offering ideas. I have not opened an Oracle support ticket for this product yet Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Oracle 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.

Professional Services	Oracle I work with OEM SCP team. They are great. Incentivized KZ Kevin Zhang Manager of Oracle Infrastructure Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Oracle 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Oracle No answers on this topic
