Subject: SharePlexHello,
Quest is trying to sell us a product named SharePlex. It sounds very attractive, but then sales people are supposed to be good at that. We are a mid sized company, about 2.2 billion per year, running Financials 11.5.7. We are interested in this for HA and for reporting instance use.
<rant>
We use Cognos as our query tool and the owners of this product tells me that we can't tune the SQL it emits. It makes pretty poor choices, which is not surprising for a gooey, sticky tool designed for end users. It is sort of pretty and if you can drool you too can generate cross products. Anyway , I'd like to get them off the production box.<rant/>
Does SharePlex allow you to stay close to the production instance in time? Does the store and forward work well? Do you love it? Hate it? Anything you'd like to say about this product I'd like to hear
Thanks in advance
