Sure …
It is because the name of the game now is standardize, centralize, then automate.
Script-based solutions for enterprise needs such as monitoring, infra-structure orchestration, and analytics are limited. This is especially true, as your infrastructure grows in size and needs.
Furthermore, as IT operations adopt agile and DevOps protocols into their practice, we are confronted with essentials needs that were not necessarily & historically baked into our practice in database administration. Needs such self-service, transparency, ‘extreme’ automation. Add to this the ITIL mandates for incident, problem, and change management.
For example, imagine an infrastructure of 1000 DB machines hosting RDBMS software, oracle, and otherwise. How do you verify your infrastructure complies with a defined end-state and if it drifts, you are made aware of such drifts in a timely fashion to take a meaningful and proactive action.
How do you manage to have all these needs under the control of single pane of glass in a coherent and well orchestrated way?
I have found Home grown scripts (and I have written thousand of lines of code) or, for that matter, frameworks, limiting and falls short of meeting the growing & evolving needs of the enterprise.
They do, however, have a role to play.

I don't have anything to contribute. But I'm curious why "such solutions are limited and pose scalability issues". Anything specific?
