Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Enterprise Manager

Oracle Enterprise Manager is being used at a large federal department to manage, monitor and troubleshoot the production and other NPE environments. Target types include Siebel, Oracle Fusion Middleware (OBI, BIP), and Tomcat. It is used department-wide.
  • Monitors the availability of Siebel.
  • Integrates with Oracle Support to help troubleshoot issues by automatically looking up errors codes against known bugs.
  • Performs configuration management of targets, allow the team to spot easily anomalies.
  • Providing true RBAC when integrating with Active Directory. Some objects must be owned by individuals instead of AD groups.
  • Incidents can only be assigned to individuals instead of teams, for example, the Siebel team or the Oracle DBA team, which could be an AD Group.
  • Does not support newer versions of Microsoft IIS on Windows2016 Servers.
  • Reduced the time to deploy applications.
  • Increased reliability of systems in all environments via visual representation in the enterprise dashboard.
  • Adaptable to monitor custom metrics that are specific to the business.
  • SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor
OEM is better at monitoring applications, while SolarWinds is better at monitoring the underlying infrastructure such as networks, switches, and routers.
Well suited to monitor the Oracle application stack, right from Exa-systems, databases and oracle applications.
Not so much support for third-party applications. Not great for monitoring network traffic on a host, I.E. top-talkers.
