We are very happy with OEM 13c and the main features we liked is the automation patch feature and monitoring databases itself that make us easy to reach a rca and resolve some performance quickly. Also advisors and ASR and great features. The app navegability is good too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be good to have more options on proxy configuration as some proxy products are different like bluecoat or may be more documentation on how configure it using this product. And on many environments we are having to create additional listeners on NOC network beacause network team restrict access from monitoring databases from NOC network and not uses data network interfaces.
Would be great DB2 mainly integration (more than exists today) so we can used it as a pattern for our environment as IBM is not doing so much improvement on DSM Product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Oracle Enterprise Manager provides a single point of control for your applications and databases. It provides out of box automation in form of monitoring templates and reporting templates. I also love the new Administrative Group introduced in 13.1 version onward.
It's a single point for patch control for all your deployments being monitored through OEM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While OEM makes monitoring super convenient and eliminates scope of human/scripting errors, administration using OEM requires special skills.
Also, OEM is resouce intensive and uses flash for loading pages with heavy charts and diagrams on it. This is quite slow. I have heard that in the new versions, Oracle is planning to use Jet instead of Flash to handle the slow page loading problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My one and only complaint with this device is that you have to be connected on-site when opening the app for the first time. The past two times I have purchased a new device, I needed to access our secure intranet the same evening. Unfortunately, I was unable to do this until having it reinstalled/validated the next day.

Oracle Enterprise Manager is a sophisticated monitoring and administration tool. It's easy to install and easy to add targets (monitoring targets). I like the security administration and patch recommendations. You don't have to look for required patches, OEM does it for you based on the targets you have added into it.
