Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Enterprise Manager
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.

- 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
- 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
- You are practically blind without OEM. There are other tools available but are expensive and negatively impact database performance.
- If a bug hits OEM and it skips monitoring or doesn't catch something, it can have extremely negative consequences.
- Being able to deploy scripts through OEM has replaced thousands of hours of work.
