Mike,

    In the case of CA, you had either steer clear of them or have some pretty
DEEP pockets.  All of their tools are being integrated into their Jasmine
infrastructure that supposedly allows their tools to "talk" to each other
seamlessly.  The problem is that Jasmine is EXPENSIVE and each tool has it's
share added on for the integration.  BTW: I just saw this morning that CA was
"breaking up their tools into modules" so that they were most cost competitive
in the midrange and small IT shops.  That capability was what Jasmine was
suppose to buy for them 3 years ago.  Wonder how much they added on to break the
tools back up again???

PS: If you get the idea that I enjoy CA bashing, your right.  Right next to
MicroSlop bashing.

DBA's:

We're looking at tools for monitoring and tuning our databases.  Our
primary applications are data warehouse, data marts, document control,
help desk, and laboratory management.  (We also have SAP but they have
their own tool set).

Anybody have any experience/recommendations/stay-away-froms for stuff from
vendors like BMC, Quest, CA, etc.?

Thanks,
Mike
