    MonetDB
    MonetDB is great when you are performing adhoc queries on a large set of data. For example, if you store data in a typical RDBMS such as MySQL or Postgres and want to join large tables for analytics but the query runs unacceptably slow then MonetDB can act as a second database to offload complex queries. Based on my experience, it may not be a production-ready database since there aren't many DBAs familiar with it and due to lack of documentation, maintenance can become a little tricky.

    Almost all development activities (the tool is called "SQL Developer", not "DBA Toolset") can be done easily and quick with [Oracle] SQL Developer. From data model creation (tables, views) to development (creation of procedures, functions, packages) and then testing (SQL Developer includes an easy to use debugger), all tasks can be performed in a single tool.
    It may not be as complete as other solutions for DBA tasks like instance monitoring, but it is usually OK for development and testing environments if you want to do some basic troubleshooting.

    • Object Browser in SQL Developer allows you to explore the contents of your database using the connection tree.
    • The SQL Worksheet is an editor that allows for execution of SQL statements, scripts, and PL/SQL anonymous blocks. SELECT statements can be executed to return results in a spreadsheet-like 'grid' or can be executed as a script such to emulate SQL*Plus behavior and output
    • DBA Console allows users with administrative privileges to access DBA features such as database init file configuration, RMAN backup, storage, etc.

    Cons
    MonetDB
    • This is an open source software so there are obvious drawbacks, the biggest of which is a lack of documentation.
    • MonetDB does not seem to be well known outside of the academic environment so there is less information when you are searching for answers of any type.
    • I'd like to see more use cases and/or best practices so that commercial companies like ours can optimally use all of its highly performant features.
    • The code is written in C/C++ and this can be negative if you are a mainly java-shop and need UDF - User Defined Function.

    Oracle
    • Inability to run multiple queries on the same database. You can only run one query on a given database.
    • Analytical models created from complex tables isn't accurate, and needs work.
    • Inability to view multiple tables of a database side-by-side. When trying to find correlations between tables, it would help to be able to see them at once on the same page.

    We have used Five9 in my previous company but on a much smaller scale. It was more expensive, however we were using it for a max of 50 employees, now we need a much bigger platform. We also used Five9 for other things, like phone dialers etc. so it was a little different.

    I have started to use Toad for Oracle recently because it is easier to sort and filter results, due to their memory sort feature that puts the results from your query in memory so that you don't have to rerun your query. I have used SQL Developer to easily update records in tables that I need to fix. I haven't found an easy way to do this in Toad other than writing SQL insert statements.

    Return on Investment
    MonetDB
    • If you are familiar with a general database concept and played with open source products before then MonetDB will give you immediate return in terms of productivity since developers can quickly develop and verify their test cases involving back-end database with a large sample data set.
    • There is a stiff learning curve due to lack of documentation and sparse information available on the internet.
    • Overall experience has been positive since MonetDB gives you another option when it comes to building out a data warehouse.

    • It gives 100% return on investment as it is free of cost.
    • No need to have multiple tools for each database
    • Considering the employee training, so one can save money on training, as it is not very hard to use so still savings.
