We use some of those, too. DBArtisan is primarily used by the Sybase and
SQL Server DBAs. It has a couple of quirks when connected to Oracle.
ER/Studio is our modelling tool, and we're looking at Change Manager for
source control.
We have inquired about Performance Center, but it is still
We are using OEM currently on our Oracle environments. However, we have
about 100 Sybase servers and about 10 Microsoft SQL Server servers in
addition to the 20 or so Oracle instances we have. There are only 6 of us
supporting all these environments, and not everybody is knowledgeable in all
Embarcadero products?

Lisa,
Have you seen or heard of NORAD (Surveillance Module)?
Currently you can monitor:
Database: O/S:
Oracle NT/2000
Sybase HP/UX
SQLServer Solaris
AIX
LINUX
All from the same client console.
I second that, too long to list the problems I had w/ CA Unicenter, worthless
expensive product. CA touts their product to top management, then you get the call to
implement. Just my $.02, since you asked :)

CA Unicenter sucks, CA support sucks. CA
HI Lisa,
We don't use Xray or CA unicenter but we use Patrol from BMC with
UNIX,NT and the Oracle Availability Suite. Installation is straight forward
and support is great. Does allot of proactive monitoring. The psl
programming language is easy for customization. It comes packaged
I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences.
My question on this topic is what tools are appropriate for what
environments? Some tools seem more extensive (and expensive) and therefore
appropriate to sites with many Oracle instances. I am currently responsible
for 5 production instances all

I have evaluated I/Watch and it was pretty good. Especially with
Spotlight. I have actually seen Spotlight help me quickly identify
a problem which I am not sure I could have found so easily with
out the visual picture. I had both tools for about 3 months but
could not get anyone to agree to

Hi Lisa,
CA Unicenter has been a source of many nightmares and sleepless nights in the past for me. I was very glad when I quit that job...

Lisa,
What are you trying to monitor - just Oracle databases, the OS as well (if
so which OS) and anything else?
We use the Watchdog functionality (part of CA Unicenter) to monitor our VMS
servers (where we don't run Oracle) and it good for that.
It depends on what you are trying to achieve.

That's
the kind of .02 I'm looking for. I don't need any more nightmares

usage?

Lisa,
We are
now concluding a very lengthy selection process, and it looks like we will go
with BMC Patrol/DB X-Ray. We refuse to do business with CA, and had a very
bad experience with Quest I/Watch. None of these are easy to roll-out
enterprise
Ideally, we'd like to find a common tool to monitor Oracle, Sybase and SQL
Server databases running on both NT and Unix platforms. There are separate
groups that are responsible for NT support and Unix support. If we could
all use the same tool, we'd be delighted, but if not, then one tool for

Hi -
Does anyone have experience with either of these products? I'm interested
in ease of installation, ease of use, and

Did you look at Quest at all?
