Recommendation for Oracle Monitoring tool

Hello Everyone,  

I am looking for firsthand experience recommendation for Oracle monitoring tool.
If you can specify what you like about it versus OEM that would be great.  

We have over 3000+ Oracle and Sql Server that we monitor. We currently use OEM for Oracle and SCOM for SQL Server.  

We uses OEM for monitoring, performance tuning, as well as scheduling backup and probably a bunch of other stuffs that only a few people knows about.  

I am perfectly happy with OEM, but management wants to know so here we are.  

Management was wondering if there are better tools out there, for monitoring Oracle DB, that we should evaluate?
If it can do SQL Server as well then it would be a big plus. If not, then not a big deal. I am more interested in the Oracle side.  

Not sure why we didn't use OEM plug in for SQL Server. Nobody seems to know the answer.  

Last thing I saw through the list archive is that QUEST was taking over the world by acquiring all the competitors and BMC was the only big competitor standing.
Is what Kyle Halley said in 2011 stills valid? "OEM and Foglight seem like the best"
