In my case, it's because I wanted to see what functionality exists in OEM.
I'm hoping that a future version will be solid, but until then I will rely
on what works- unix scripts scheduled via cron. To be fair, I have seen
some good and bad aspects of OEM. Schema comparisons in Change Manager is
an example of a good feature.
What would be really nice is a set of Unix/Perl scripts that cover the major
monitoring areas, which is why I have Jared's book :-). It's also fun to
whip up some custom shell scripts for monitoring and alerts. And, most
importantly, they are *reliable*.

Ummmmm, if the tool's paging reliability is suspect (and I agree it is),
then why have redundant monitoring? Why not just use the one that works?
Just curious...

Yes, in OEM you can create a user-defined SQL test. Yes, it monitors disk
space, node up/down, CPU utilization, etc.
I currently have OEM monitoring 8 servers and about 15 databases. Some
problems I've encountered are hanging Intelligent Agents- have to restart
them and then they send tons of queued alerts at once. Also, some
difficulty with sending alerts to pagers and cell phones (email works fine
though). When it works properly, it's a nifty tool that can save you time
developing your own tools. However, given the problems I've had so far, I
use redundant monitoring scripts for disk space and other vital stats.
If you've paid for Enterprise Edition, it may be worth experimenting with to
see if it works in your environment.
