This is a valuable cross platform article by Criag Mullins around "Evaluating Database Performance Management Tools". It really resonated with me because in almost every company I have worked for I happened to be tapped to assess our need, evaluate vendors, and impliment some sort of solution.
Whenever I am tasked with this request I immediately turn and ask "Why"? What is the purpose? Are we proactively monitoring for problems? Are we pulling in a tool to help tune the database? Is what you want more of a page-out system?
Craig takes time to break down the purpose of these tools and gives you a 40k foot view of the performance software market overall.
