Centralized Monitoring Tool for our Amazon Relational Database Cluster - SQL Monitor
What do you like best about the product?
SQL Monitor effectively helps me overcome various bottlenecks of my SQL servers and ensures performance utilization with high efficiency. It provides high availability and failover notifications for both our active and passive nodes in our cluster. Capacity planning is also great for managing our memory and buffer allocation with SQL Monitor.
What do you dislike about the product?
More workload is imposed in our SQL server as SQL monitor operates 24/7 for monitoring server activities. In order to improve this workload, we can opt for database clusters with a large number of worker nodes to optimize capacity management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SQL Monitor effectively monitors our Amazon RDS clusters. It provides detailed performance metrics and notification alerts. As its centralized monitoring tool, there isn't any location or platform dependencies involved. Troubleshooting is great as I am able to group our RDS performance metrics & I can customize our instance alerts based on client priotity standards. API integration is seamless between Amazon Relational Database Service and SQL Monitor which is a big positive aspect for our continuous monitoring requirements.

SQL Monitor gets the job done.
What do you like best about the product?
I can see all my servers on a single window. I can see their health and instantly drill down for a more detailed look at what's going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be cumbersome to set up and configure, but overall worth the effort.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We know immediately if a server isn't performing optimally. And we can instantly see the data we need to address the issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get training on the product, and be ready to be amazed!
Excellent product, easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Simple interface, easy to customize. Color coding is pleasant. Frequent updates
What do you dislike about the product?
Drilling down can sometimes take weird steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring SQL Server for blocks and unauthorized access. Displays restarts and long queries, Job deviations. I like how it groups similar errors together to simplify review. You can also segment servers into groups like Production UAT and DEV. Support is excellent too. Quick to respond, and knowledgebase is excellent for self serve support as well. I find Red-Gate to be an excellent company, supporting the Database users community extensively.
Redgate tools are a must have for anyone with a big SQL server instance
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate's tools just work and SQL Monitor is no different. I have used a lot of tools but the redgate tools zero in on what you need to know and cut out the noise. It is very easy to diagnose your problems and get alerts before problems hit you out of the box.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Maybe pricing? The redgate stuff can tend to get expensive if you have a lot of instances. For example, we had one MASSIVE server that absolutely required a license. We also had 40 instances that needed very light monitoring - it was just too expensive to go with SQL Monitor for all those little instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In a 24 hour organization - up time is a must. It gave us a fighting chance against all of those problems that just "come up". Poorly performing execution plans, drive size, paging issues, memory, hug threads, bad actor users... it does it all.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at their entire suite of tools. Even the sql cloning stuff they have is a life send if you have a development shop that needs a lot of instances or data refreshes. They can even manipulate data and scramble data for test environments. Makes it really easy.
Monitor your SQL server from a single panel
What do you like best about the product?
If you are not a full time Database Administrator but would like to be proactive in monitoring your SQL servers this is brilliant.
What do you dislike about the product?
It only support Microsoft SQL servers which is not yet the only available solution out there.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us being a proactive support team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep improving, maybe adding support for other non-Microsoft products is worth it as well? .

It is a great tool to monitor SQL server health.
Great Tool for SQL Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it is a very comprehensive monitoring tool. It shows an SQL admin all that is needed to successfully monitor the health and performance of an installed SQL Server
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that there is a significant learning curve to overcome to fully utilize the benefits of SQL Monitor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Prior to using SQL Monitor, my company experienced numerous issues with our SQL server. File locks, space allocation, CPU usage were just a few of the issues discovered and resolved with the use of SQL Monitor.
Great idea,, a little clumsy in the execution
What do you like best about the product?
The program sets up easily, makes connections to all of your servers intuitively.
What do you dislike about the product?
During monitoring, the hit on server performance was greater than I believe it should have been; the level of statistics gathered was good, but not enough to warrant the incursion on performance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring several medium-sized databases on two servers. Gave some insights into how server resources were being used.
