Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"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."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"It's user friendly."
"There are a number of different user interfaces you can choose from."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
 

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"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."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"In my experience, the monitoring could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
 

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."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"It's expensive."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"It is part of Real Application Testing, so no new investment is necessary for clients who already are already using RAT."
"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."
