Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Enterprise Manager

We use this to monitor all our Oracle databases and Linux VMs along with Oracle OVM. Also used for deep dive into database performance and to investigate SQL performance issues.
  • Able to setup blackouts for all or parts of what is monitored.
  • Also used to send issues to ServiceNow.
  • Using it to incorporate all our crontab jobs into Jobs.
  • Able to view history and use AWR repository to compare to current execution plans.
  • Monitoring templates. They give way too many bogus alerts. We had to remove 90%
  • Seems that every patch lately introduces new bugs, so it's not tested well
  • Single spot for database monitoring.
  • Able to see versions, but would be nice to also show the PSU applied history.
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.
Suited if you have lots of databases to monitor. Now, all of them are in one spot with Oracle Enterprise Manager. Very good drill-downs for running SQL. We use it a lot on SQL performance issues.
