RE: Grid Control - opinions please

Does Gartner ever praise anything userful?

 

I remember how excited they were with Oracle's new object oriented
features in v8 while completely ignoring partitioned tables.

Particularly with R2 and the various BigIP/MSSQL/Cisco/NetApp monitoring
capabilities that are coming to light, Grid Control is trying to become
less of a DBA tool and more of an enterprise service management console
of sorts.  Unfortunately, all that does is leave DBAs high and dry,
while evolving OEM into the sort of thing that Gartner praises but in
reality adds little value for many shops.  Such is the way of IT,
though.  Accept it for what it is and make the most use of what [little]
it offers to DBAs... that's my advice.
