Spotlight on Oracle has proven to be a valuable tool for users in monitoring and managing their Oracle Databases. By eliminating the need for running DBA Scripts or using Oracle's Enterprise Manager, this software simplifies server-related tasks and helps users be more proactive in supporting systems and applications. The interface of Spotlight on Oracle is highly regarded as the best monitoring tool on the market, providing insights into top sessions, top SQL, and CPU consumption, making it one of the best tools for monitoring Oracle databases.
DBAs have experienced reduced time spent on manual checks and verification of databases by using Spotlight on Oracle for critical SQL Server monitoring and management in production environments. Its time management capabilities have been beneficial for DBA teams in real-time monitoring of production and development instances. Additionally, the ability to rewind and see a snapshot of what was happening at the time of a problem occurrence has proved useful for identifying the cause of off-hours issues. While there is some concern that the Quest Foglight may replace Spotlight, users hope that this is not the case as they find Spotlight on Oracle to be a complex but convenient component for performance tuning SQL servers.

Spotlight Review
All the DBAs in our team use Spotlight, which currently is at 6 people. We bring up in the morning and continue to monitor all day. This gives us a great view of active production databases. We are able to view top sessions, top SQL and see CPU consumption. It is actually one of the best tools we have used for monitoring Oracle databases.
- The screen is color-coded, so when Red or Orange is displayed you are able to drill down into that setting and figure out what is going on.
- This tool also integrates with the OEM agents which will also have implemented.
- Spotlight also works great without RAC databases, able to view at the cluster level or drill down to instances and VM's.
- Have not found any issues at this point.

- We have not encountered any issues and continue to keep Spotlight's version current.
- Very simple to set up and add databases. The only thing that has to happen to the database is that a user ID needs to exist.
Spotlight is easier to view than OEM. OEM is better for historical information.
