Computing resources consumed by the DB instance, DPA queries & wait time, deadlock conditions, virtual infrastructure resources. The addition of NPM & DPA integration as well as cross-correlation in the identification of issues with the network or server or DB is all stupid-proof. Monitoring is more than just health and resource consumption, it's also performance. DB performance analysis is key to maintaining healthy DB instances.

It's wonderful and terrific with monitoring database performance and [giving] real-time reports. Excellent with discovering virtual servers. Terrific with integration with third-party software such as Microsoft Azure. Great with asset tracking.

DPM is less expensive and more feature-rich. Also, Oracle tech support is garbage, unless you can afford to spend a day getting assistance.

  • What is the cost of a downed DB instance? That's your ROI. DPM lets you see issues before they become critical.
