CRITICAL

“OEMM is not a tool for business users”

2.0
Oct 13, 2020
OEMM is a tool more suited for technicians and not for business users. Navigation is very complex and a lot of functionality is added that does not have added value (e.g. configurations - is really hampering), error messages are very cryptic. Furthermore, it is more set to receive data and will not easily export it again. The API framework is not clear and not well-documented.

Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management Likes & Dislikes

Like

Good inbuilt reporting and dashboarding feature. Easy to compare various metadata models. Optimized search feature. Provide impact analysis and advance reporting.

Like

The visualisations of the lineage are in some respects nice and the tool is able to propose mappings. Also the use of open bridges is a good move.

Like

Works well with Informatica and Oracle ETL Easily integrates with well known BI tools Performance is better in comparison to similar tools available in the market Model visualization

Dislike

Sometimes technical architecture is slightly complex. Post deployment services can be improved a bit.

Dislike

See my response to overall experience score. It's technical, navigation is hopeless and Oracle's licensing model (based on processor cores) is very unfriendly and kind of forces you into their cloud.

Dislike

Complex navigation with many non value added functionalities Difficult to understand/decrypt error messages Confusing API framework Not suitable for business users
