Method5 is free and open source software. If you have any problems installing or configuring it you can create an issue in the GitHub repository or send an email to Jon Heller.
The level of effort to install and configure depends on how complex and standardized your infrastructure is. If your databases are all on the same platform, with a standard naming convention, installation may be easy.
If you have lots of custom setups, unsupported platforms, and duplicate names, things will be trickier. The good news is that one side-effect of installing Method5 is that it helps you to clean up your environment and become more standardized.
