"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."

"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
