As one of the Alpha, Beta ....customers who Oracle consulted with during the implementation of Oracle Configuration Manager, Flash version of Metalink, etc. I told them from the very first day...it is TOO slow! Constantly asked about this being deployed across different desktops. What do people see if they have no configurations uploaded, etc. Repeated myself every time we had a meeting. Great concept in that you could filter everything based on your hosts, configurations, etc. Right now the biggest gotcha is seeing all the data associated with a single CSI, my understanding is that group privileges are on the way.
