Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We monitor databases, schedule RMAN backups, provision databases, patching, user management, space management and run reports in BI Publisher.
Pros
  • Gives a big picture view your Oracle infrastructure, and plug-ins for SQL Server, IIS if needed.
  • Manages jobs in each instance using dbms_scheduler package.
  • Integrates with Oracle support for patch download, applies patches.
  • Manages space in tablespaces, data files. Alerts set to your comfort level for warning critical thresholds.
Cons
  • Interface clunky at times. Some space management is faster in SQL Developer DBA tool. Their free tool works well.
  • Setup of default page gets lost at times. Bug?
  • Managing a script run across databases. The default is backwards. SYSDBA should be the default. Not normal.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Oracle Enterprise Manager to manage all of our databases and manage all jobs within the department. We also use it for SQL tuning, AWR and running SQL on many databases at one time.
Pros
  • Allows you to manage multiple databases in one GUI.
  • Allows you to run jobs on multiple databases at one time.
  • Helps you maximize Oracle Database tuning and SQL tuning.
  • Also, helps manage dataguard within multiple databases.
Cons
  • Notification emails. Notifications are sending out emails for failed jobs 7 days later of the same error of the same job.
  • Being able to have redundancy for Oracle Enterprise Manager. This is way too complicated to get set up and has too many problems getting it set up. The documentation is not very good. Just making it more user-friendly and easier to install.
  • Starting OMS takes to long. Depending on the machine it can take up to 10 minutes for OMS to start up.
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle Enterprise Manager is well suited if you have to manage multiple databases. It helps with job configuration, not only for the database but also for each database host. It allows you to run different types of jobs on each host and you can run pl/sql jobs or host scripted jobs from each server.

We use Oracle EM to monitor multiple metrics across several of our databases including running processes, active sessions, tablespace and storage utilization, blocking sessions, and several other critical metrics. Oracle EM solves the issue of having to monitor different databases using scripts or linux reporting tools or mail alerts that can pass on cryptic data, but instead simplifies messages that indicate an issue with the database or database connections.
Pros
  • Creates visuals and graphic indicators for monitoring critical database operations and states.
  • Easily identify problematic connections, performance issues, blocking sessions, and identify sql code or scripts that are degrading database performance.
  • Easily display AWR reporting or ASH analytic's with a few clicks.
  • Easily set up jobs with Oracle scheduler, which you would have to otherwise script directly on the database.
Cons
  • Connections to targets can become lost or dropped, resulting in the application not doing anything when clicking on a link, with no type of indication of what the issues is.
  • Log outs from the console sometime do not complete, and users remain logged in, even after closing the browser session.
  • The timeout function in the console has always been problematic, causing me to have to change the time out setting in the config file, whereas the option to disable the time outs on the console when the option comes up does not work. Selecting the option to disable timeouts still causes idle sessions to timeout.
Likelihood to Recommend
Oracle EM is perfect for monitoring database performance, alerting dba's of critical thresholds, setting up simple tasks using oracle scheduler, identifying problematic scripts or code that are degrading database performance, identifying and resolving blocking sessions and locking sql, and many other database performance monitoring tasks. Where it is a little less suited is configuring backups with non oracle backup systems such as NetApp, monitoring end users connections to the database, some administration tasks such as resizing the SGA or adding datafiles to tablespaces, or changing database configuration files such as the pfile.

I use Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g to manage and maintain all environments used by our teams. Since it's an enterprise tool, it's used across the entire organization. OEM lets us manage users, monitor availability of environments, and deploy RPDs among many other tasks.
Pros
  • Oracle Enterprise Manager lets you control access to an environment for various users across your organization. You can define users, groups, and their credentials. You can define application roles and application policies. This is an excellent functionality which is robust in nature.
  • Oracle Enterprise Manager improves the deployment process on multiple folds using single clicks. You select an RPD, deploy the same and restart your services within a few simple clicks. No need to reach the back end and fall into a tedious loop.
  • Oracle Enterprise Manager notifies the user of any component being down in a graphical manner and points to an exact component being down. This helps in the debugging process.
Cons
  • Simple functionality like one to many mapping of users to groups could be done which would be a useful feature to a DBA/Admin while adding new users.
  • Recovery of logs needs to be more user-friendly. Whenever we face a system downtime issue, exact logs are a little difficult to find. It can get really tedious to point out the problem when looking at generic logs.
  • No cross application navigation is present to other OBIEE products. There needs to be a functionality which can navigate a user from Oracle Enterprise Manager to Oracle BI Analytics.
  • In the RPD Deployment process, there should be a functionality to deploy previously deployed RPDs. In this way, the administrator can keep a track of all previously used RPDs and it's deployments.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is click based, intuitive and procedural. If well documented, OEM lets you do the desired task in an easy manner. On the other hand, Oracle Enterprise Manager can only be easier managing Oracle products. It may not work that well with other products from other vendors.

I use Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) on a daily basis. I use it for individual database/cluster monitoring and enterprise wide for our entire client base.

It's great for monitoring multiple systems and has a wide variety of pre-built metrics. It can be used for deploying scripts to our entire system. It's easy to use and critical for technical users as well as non-technical users.
Pros
  • Displays visuals of database health
  • Shows internal data structures (tablespaces, objects, users, etc)
  • Monitors database health
  • Can be used for deployment of PL/SQL and other scripts
Cons
  • It can be very buggy, sometimes preventing jobs from running
  • It can miss errors and lead to database outages
  • Can be slow during updating of internal settings
Likelihood to Recommend
It's great for managing many database systems, from hundreds to thousands of systems. If your system has few databases, it may not be suitable. It also monitors other non-Oracle systems.

If you have small databases that are lightweight and are low-maintenance, OEM may not be useful. For larger companies, it can be very useful.
