  • Enterprise Monitoring
  • DB provisioning and patching
  • Exadata Management
Cons
  • Security subsystem, supporting integration with other PAM products
  • Offer more MGMT views to retrieve needed information
  • Log management, including one-click download of procedure activity log,
  • Support of record management based on admin group, e.g. display incidents based on admin group, save incident records based on admin groups
  • Better support of cross server OEM migration (OMS, repository DB), mostly on post tasks, such as mass promoting targets, mass transfer target properties
  • Better emcli support for mass automation, such as agent cloning
  • Better EM dashboard features to create needed reports
  • Future integration with DEVOPS tools, such as Terraform, Ansible, Bitbucket, K8
  • OEM features can be expanded to support central DB management, such as integrated RMAN catalog, TDE key catalog, etc. Currently, you need a separate DB to handle.
  • Support built-in patching scheduling and auto notification feature

OEM great for Oracle dbs and current hardware; older vendors, not so much

  • Provides a graphical interface to Oracle Database metrics (therefore one does not need to manually execute queries on a database to find information).
  • Provides a graphical interface to hardware metrics (like cpu, memory, network, i/o utilization). This is very important as it allow non system administrators to view and understand information regarding the hardware that an Oracle Database is running on.
  • Has built in features to dynamically build databases, implement RAC (cluster), implement Data Guard, and many other optional add on features to Oracle databases.
  • Has the ability to generate performance data (and other) reports that can be also be easily delivered within the organization, all through the OEM interface.
Cons
  • Information can sometimes be hard to find within OEM. There are so many different attributes that it can be difficult to find the exact area where key information can be found.
  • If OEM is running slowly, it can be hard to diagnose where the problem exists.
  • If OEM is having a performance issues and disconnects, all data is lost. This can be particularly frustrating if reports are being generated or a data guard configuration is being implemented.
  • Configuring credential setup can be very time consuming and confusing. There should be a central user that has base level OEM access for any database added to the OEM OMS repository.
  • Manually inputting credentials is very onerous.
  • As a graphical interface, not all query information is provided and therefore it can be difficult to hone a dba skill set. Since not all queries are shown, if OEM is unavailable, one will not know how to retrieve the same information directly from the database.

The best tool for admins on Oracle Environment.

  • 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.
