RE: Oracle Diagnostic and Tuning Packs

And I normally don't disagree with you Jared but in this case I must. I evaluated both quite extensively just a month or so ago. They both give you the same type of control really, just in a slightly different format. OEM's was actually easier to use with no prior instruction. Both are push button per say. Just a different look at the push buttons.

I actually would have probably used Quests in the end but their pricing structure can at times be a little brutal, even compared to Oracle's OEM. I would have been perfectly happy to take OEM. In the end we are getting neither cause of budget issues. Embarcadero's was disappointing at best. It provided very little mechanism for flexibility.

I will have to respectfully disagree with that, at least in part.

There is a big difference between change management in OEM tools and Quest tools, Quest's tools being much better.

The OEM tools are push button, just like MicroSlush garbage. Meaing: The OEM tools do no give you near the control over managing change and synching schemas across databases that Quest's tools allow.

Having said that, I don't use either. Had I a need for serious change management though, Quest would win hands down.
