## Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management Reviews
  ### 1. Good management of Metadata

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David C. | Business Intelligence Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

Very good for retrieving of data and also to share it amongst business partners.  It supports various standards so it isnt just tied to just Oracle sources as it did in the past

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

Reporting aspects from Oracle is lacking compared to its competitors.  They really need to step up their game and start providing a more competitive product.  The learning curve is also a bit high for new users so it relies heavily on a dedicated IT team to support this

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps to centralize the data retrieval aspect of not just data sources but also our ELT packages and contains them for us on the cloud so it can stay online for 24 hrs a day even during maintenance periods.  Since our company is an Oracle house, the integration was seamless

  ### 2. Best Data migration tool.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Pravin T. | Salesforce Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

It always helps to easily get data from any org also gives suggestions while writing a query. it gives fields from the org in the suggestions tool and also help to write query.its provide some readymade query in the tool also.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

Some times it really need to connect with the org and test the connection with the org after closing it. its not showing error in query itself, it shows error in error console.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

If oracle gives their tool directly in the org rather than operating outside of the org, it will be better, and no need to connect with the org every time. it could e better if it highlighted error in query itself.

  ### 3. Oracle E-Business Suite R12 Usage

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

Actually, the ease of access makes it accessible in a convenient method. As you log in to check with other responsibilities, it is a built-in one-pack for easy accessibility.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

Sometimes when the connection is lost, it is harder to return to the current function you're working out. As I try to check in a different process, sometimes it takes time to load.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Some integrations are made between Oracle E-Business Suite and MLS (Application of Manufacturing Execution System [MES] from Schneider)  to ease the process of adding new parts to the Oracle link table. This way, it will be reflected in real-time, rather than waiting for too long.

  ### 4. Oracle

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

The way Oracle did not slow down my work processes. Everything worked seamlessly and was able to be streamlined effectively when processing updates to claims and programs running alongside it.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

I disliked when there was a system update in the middle of the normal working day. It made things difficult to process while speaking to clients. Server updates should definitely be done after hours.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I used Oracle in a healthcare setting and it helped to track orders and medications for patients in a way that was easy to locate what was needed. When multiple people were accessing the patient's file, it was easily updated with the newest information.

  ### 11. OEMM is not suited for business use, it is a technical tool meant for techies

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2021

**What do you like best about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

The integrations (bridges) available through metaintegrations.com to automatically harvest schema's.

**What do you dislike about Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management?**

The inflexibility of the tool, the technical nature of the tool which makes you get lost al the time, the unnecessary use of so-called configurations that makes you go up the curtains if you look for a model, the lack of transparency (e.g. in which configuration(s) is this model used?), the superfluous need to 'migrate' and 'build' your model once you uploaded metadata, the fact that you cannot export the mappings very easily, importing excel is a disaster, the issues with its own internal integrity that makes that some lineage just does not show, the lack of clear error messages, no workflow to promote or approve lineages.

**Recommendations to others considering Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management:**

Don't buy it, even if you get it for free with other Oracle tools. There are other, more flexible and business and user-friendly tools out there that will bring you further.

**What problems is Oracle Enterprise Metadata Management solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Adherence to BCBS239 - the part that we thought to solve with data lineage. So far we did not realise any benefits, even though there is appreciation for the existence of lineage, the choice for this tool will likely turn out to be a mistake.

The architecture is good but a bit confusing it could have been better than this.Too confusing to integrate with the current systems. We chose not to use OEM because it was a bit to complicated to get started. There seemed to be a steep learning curve. We also did not find the graphic interface to be intuitive.
