At-a-Glance SQL Estate Visibility and Fast Bottleneck Insights
What do you like best about the product?
View of what is going on with our SQL Estate at a glance.
Being able to easily dig in and see what is causing performance bottlenecks.
Being able to easily dig in and see what is causing performance bottlenecks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to pay for all servers in a cluster can end up costing quite a lot, considering only a single server is ever the active server. The benefit of monitoring the secondaries is minimal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring of our SQL Estate as a whole in a single tool.
Redgate Monitor Makes Database Performance Troubleshooting Fast and Stress-Free
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate Monitor is most helpful for quickly and confidently troubleshooting database performance issues. Its intuitive interface and clear metrics make it easy to identify root causes without digging through multiple tools or manual scripts. One of the biggest upsides is the significant reduction in time, stress, and uncertainty issues that once took hours or even days to diagnose can now be resolved much faster. For my Team, Redgate Monitor streamlines day-to-day DBA work, improves efficiency, and makes managing database performance far more enjoyable and reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Redgate Monitor is very powerful, there are a few areas that I think could be improved. Some advanced metrics and features can feel overwhelming at first and require time to fully understand. Secondly, Initial setup and configuration / upgrade can also be a bit time-consuming, especially in larger or more complex environments. Additionally, customization of dashboards and custom alerting would make it even more flexible for different environment needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor solves the problem of identifying and diagnosing database performance issues quickly and accurately. It provides clear visibility into server and database health, helping pinpoint root causes without relying on time-consuming manual investigation. Hence it enables faster resolution of issues. As a result, day-to-day DBA work is more proactive, efficient, and reliable.
Centralized Monitoring with Ease and Depth
What do you like best about the product?
I probably like the pure performance monitoring the most. It's great to have the ability to drill into long-running queries and the issues you've had. The ability to move back in time and replay what's going on, what was holding up something at any given point, is really useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have a lot of complaints, but the packaging of the suite of tools and the licensing models could potentially be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor for centralized monitoring, performance tracking, and SQL Data Compare and anonymization. It helps me drill into long-running queries and move back in time to replay issues, enhancing oversight without relying on native tools.
Best-in-Class Help for SQL Server DBA Troubleshooting
What do you like best about the product?
For a very small shop this is the best product to help the DBA troubleshoot issues. We work with a third party vendor and have been able to use the Redgate product to find issues that we reported back to the vendor. We even did it so often that the vendor changed their product to start using Redgate.
What do you dislike about the product?
We do not use Oracle, Postgres, or other database products, just Microsoft SQL Server which is why we bought the original SQL Monitor.
All the other added database products are just extra weight and the continued notices about other products is annoying.
All the other added database products are just extra weight and the continued notices about other products is annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Redgate Monitor to track high CPU usage, long running queries, failed SQL Agent jobs. With each alert we have the information to go directly to the source of the issue and quickly resolve it. Many times we have been able to fix problem code before the users are even aware that there was a problem. For small shops with limited staff this was a HUGE benefit. It was also beneficial to our small developer staff when we can point them directly to the code that needs to be changed. The hours saved not having to track down problems and being forewarned about potential problems really justifies the cost which we have been able to prove to management.
Best SQL monitoring tool i've used
What do you like best about the product?
When monitoring SQL it does a fantastic job of identifying issues in a way that's easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
No DB2 support... i understand it's a niche database engine by today's standards, but a DB2 option would have been awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When i started in my position, the team didn't have any visibility into SQL server performance. Apps would run slowly or lock up, and while traditional DB diagnostics scripts can help, it doesn't give you enough to address issues before they happen. RG Monitor gives me both historical metrics, and current statuses to address issues before users complain.
Facilitate Monitoring with Instant Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the ease of being able to see the status of the databases at a glance. I also find it excellent to have access to the heaviest queries performed on the databases easily and quickly, without having extensive knowledge in SQL database administration. Additionally, it is valuable to me because it allows me to easily know how our critical business databases are working, without needing to have extensive technical knowledge like DBAs. The configuration of the database monitoring itself was very simple and is very well documented on their platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to have a wallboard within the tool to project the status of the databases in a simple way on the team's monitoring screens. We have indeed had some issues when configuring Windows users for the tool and have missed some documentation in that regard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor to monitor the status of our database clusters. It provides me with visibility into what is happening inside the databases and helps me anticipate and resolve performance issues easily, without having extensive technical knowledge.
Efficient and Practical Monitoring for SQL Server
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of Redgate Monitor, and it meets my expectations regarding the main performance issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could improve the issue of not asking me for a SQL Server Enterprise database going forward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor to monitor my SQL Server database, helping to identify performance issues and suggesting solutions such as creating indexes.
Simplified SQL Monitoring with Detailed Insights
What do you like best about the product?
I like Redgate Monitor for its simplicity of the user interface and the detailed information it provides. It's great for isolating problematic areas with its easy-to-understand interface. I also appreciate the details around the information it collects, especially for SQL locking and bad SQL statements.
What do you dislike about the product?
The agent seems a little heavy, and I also find the custom reporting capabilities lacking. Additional alerting capabilities would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor helps isolate problematic queries and SQL Server configurations with an easy-to-understand interface and detailed information on SQL locking and bad SQL statements.
Streamlined Monitoring with Room for Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
I use Redgate Monitor for monitoring all our disparate SQL Server environments in one dashboard, which is really convenient. The unified alerts and reporting/auditing capabilities are great for executive reporting for downtime. I think the UI is excellent because you don't need to be a SQL DBA to understand the state of the environment. It also provides drill-down capabilities, which help technical folks research issues without having to connect to SQL. I find the alerting system good, as it has replaced a ton of home-grown SQL alerts, and the custom alerting allows us to move self-developed SQL reporting and alerting to Redgate Monitor, making it easier to liberalize those alerts to other SQL instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding of servers could be more verbose with errors. Having to download logs is annoying and cumbersome. It could be easier to display error messages on the configuration page. Working between domains means you have to deploy a base monitor to each domain, which is also cumbersome to manage, especially when upgrading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor for consolidating our disparate environments into a single dashboard, offering unified alerts, reporting, and auditing. It enables executive reporting for downtime and has replaced many homegrown SQL alerts, streamlining our operations.
