Likelihood to Recommend

For large organizations with many Oracle database projects across the fleet, there is no better choice. Otherwise ops teams will be doomed to maintain homegrown scripts that are error prone and would not scale well across many databases. Having a single pane of glass for DB management has been a real paradigm shift made possible by Oracle Enterprise Manager.
