I am not going to tell a client to buy that just because their developers
will not share a shared resource or follow proper procedures. :)

I do know shops where that kind of imaging is useful. I always wonder
about the ROI of rolling your own out using DataGuard or Flashback vs the 
capital
cost of the software and the admin cost of learning to run it.

15 years ago and 5 years after that I became responsible for a 30,000 line
mod-perl/apache construct.

As always
YMMV
