  • Capability of patching.
  • Should broaden VCP library.
I give thumbs up to SUSE Manager for it has really turned around our cost of Managing our database and also harmonizing our Linux environment. I highly recommend it since it does not at file and configuration but also allows you to use it with other tools which is not the case with other configuration tools. lastly, it has multiple OS for comparison and diagnosis.
