I agree. Nowhere did the OP state what kind of environment this was. Maybe this is the only Oracle database they have, and it is not mission critical. If that is the case, an entire OEM management infrastructure would be overkill. If it is larger, then OEM/Grid would be a valid option.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail...
