Peter,
I guess it depends on whether you have any other monitoring and/or
performance tuning tools that you use. If you do, there may be quite a
bit of duplication of features provided. If you don't have any other
automated tools that provide performance monitoring and tuning
capabilities, these have a large number of features and capabilities that
the base OEM doesn't offer.
One thing that I should note is that we decided not to implement the
enhanced monitoring capabilities because we had to have a modem in order to
implement the paging option. Our company does not have modems internally,
for security reasons.
So we are not using OEM as fully as we could and are licensed for.
Another thing I should note is that I have heard that OEM starts to degrade
when large numbers of nodes are monitored. So if you have a large number
of databases, etc. to monitor (I think the documntation states more than
50), you need to design a heavy-duty implementation and give it some real
thought. You might also need to pass on OEM if you have a really large
network.
I would suggest that you load it up and do a small prototype on a test
database. It should only take a couple of days to check it out. If the
features look promising, you could do a larger test involving more
databases and more people.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Are these addons to OEM worth buying?
Thanks
