I am a new DBA and was wondering if there was a tool out there that rivals Oracles Enterprise Manager Grid Control. I understand Grid Control is pretty comprehensive but maybe there is a tool similar.

And if so then what from your experiences is the best tool?

I am not sure what that tool does, but you should be able to do everything you need to with SQL Server Management Studio, SQL Server Profiler, and Windows Performance Monitor. Those 3 are pretty much all you need, although there are third party tools that can take it a step further.
