We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"The tried and tested services that Oracle provides is second to none."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager has been the preventive reporting capability."
"The job subsystem, monitoring subsystem, alerting, grouping of targets, and reporting features are valuable to us."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"The most valuable feature is high availability."
 

Cons

"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."
"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The solution is not as simple as people say it is."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"RMAN tools need improvement."
"It needs to support the Database versions lower than 10.2."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"The tool is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."
"The pricing is very high."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"It's expensive."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
