In their own words

Oracle Enterprise Manager

Oracle Enterprise Manager 24ai manages Oracle Database and Engineered Systems across data centers and cloud environments. It supports real-time and historical database diagnostics, tuning, issue analysis, change validation and automated migrations. Teams can monitor Oracle and non-Oracle technologies, configure static or adaptive threshold alerts, and manage incidents and notifications. It covers Oracle Exadata and Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance, as well as Oracle applications, WebLogic Server on Kubernetes and third-party middleware. Database management spans on-premises systems, OCI, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Security tools support fleet assessments, sensitive-data discovery, compliance tracking, secure-configuration audits and automated remediation. Dynamic Runbooks can guide troubleshooting with notes, charts, SQL or operating-system commands; an Enterprise Manager app can display metric data in Grafana. The platform can run on premises or through OCI Marketplace. Enterprise Manager 24ai requires Oracle Database. Base features are included with an Oracle software license or support contract; some packs and options require separate appropriate licenses. Oracle does not state a plan price on the product page.

pgAdmin

pgAdmin is a graphical tool for administering, developing with, and monitoring PostgreSQL databases. It runs as desktop software or in server mode, where multiple users can access it over the web. It supports PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server versions supported at the time each pgAdmin release is issued. Query tools include syntax highlighting, a data grid, graphical query plans, schema diff, an ERD tool, and a procedural language debugger. Users can manage common database objects and inspect their SQL definitions, properties, dependencies, and available statistics. Maintenance features include a monitoring dashboard, auto-vacuum management, and on-demand backup, restore, vacuum, and analyze operations. It also supports SSH tunneling, data editing, query history, and binary, CSV, or text result exports. The free plan costs nothing under the PostgreSQL Licence. Downloads include Windows and macOS installers, Linux packages, Docker, a Python wheel, and source code. Only the latest release is supported; there are no long-term stable versions.
