Enterprise Manager alternative
An alternative to Enterprise Manager for monitoring
Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracle's own management platform and covers far more than databases. If what you need is to monitor Oracle databases and catch problems early, Scops does that with less to run.
Where Scops is different
- No agents: nothing to install on the database servers. One Oracle account for each database.
- One Windows server: two services, used from a browser. Setup includes its own runtime and Oracle driver.
- No Oracle packs: session history and SQL statistics come from Scops. In Enterprise Manager, the ASH and AWR pages belong to the Diagnostics Pack.
- Radar Engine: 75+ detectors and forecasts that report a problem before it breaks a database.
- Scops AI: ask in plain words, with your own model.
- Standard Edition 2: all monitoring works, because no pack is needed.
Already running Enterprise Manager?
Scops installs beside it: it connects like any SQL client, reads only, and needs none of the agents. From the first day it is the side that has the session history, the detectors and the assistant, on Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition 2 alike, with nothing added to your Oracle invoice.
Questions
Can Scops run next to Enterprise Manager?
Yes. Scops reads through the listener with its own account and installs nothing on the database server.
Which databases does Scops support?
Oracle Database 12.2 and later, also 19c, 21c and 26ai, with RAC, pluggable databases, open standbys and Exadata.
What does Scops need?
One Windows server, an Oracle schema for the repository, and Edge, Chrome or Firefox.
What does it cost?
Community is free for up to 2 databases. Professional is $499 per database a year, and each further database costs 5% less, down to half the list price.
