Comprehensive Monitoring with User-Friendly Interface
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the interface is easy to use and provides a lot of information about the current state of the SQL Server instance. The graphs are granular, which helps me easily focus on the time frame relevant to customer-reported issues. I also appreciate how it allows me to spot the queries that consume the most processing time over long periods, making it straightforward to prepare tickets for specific improvements for the engineering team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notifications often feel redundant to be honest. I never used it or thought they were useful. Could be me not knowing how to use them well maybe. I would probably like it to be more customizable in the ways you can receive notifications. Like set up complicated filtering and the notifications working off those. 'if the stored procedure x takes more than y time on database z give me a notification' etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor to identify bottlenecks in queries, monitor production server instances for performance issues, and spot queries that take most processing time, which helps prepare tickets for improvements.
Solid monitor tool with plenty of options
What do you like best about the product?
First the licensing model is excellent. It is more affordable than many of the competitors. We have begun to test the AI features which are showing some promise in helping evaluate queries and troubleshoot issues. The tools to identify problematic queries has helped us track down queries that have been impacting production activities. Using alerts for some administrative activities has allowed us to keep track of bloat related to excessive use of linkedservers. I like the dashboard for quickly finding problems and addressing them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Updates do not allow for using gMSA accounts to start the needed services. I would like if it could allow that from the GUI update tool. In the top queries tool it would be super helpful to be able to add login name and source host to the display. It takes time to correlate the query in the sql server to find further details on the query. Adding granular permissions for users has been a little clunky for us. But in general not too big a problem as we don't do it often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reliability is the main focus. Additionally we use the top query to troubleshoot and improve performance of tools like Excel that people use to access the databases. Correlating issues that occur, slow downs in IO or other processing. It helps to have the graphs to share with other teams to track down the root cause.
Efficient and Intuitive SQL Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simplicity of Redgate Monitor and its very attractive interface. I find the analysis of queries and execution plans particularly useful, as it allows me to identify performance issues and possible improvements faster than the management studio.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting section in Redgate Monitor should be improved. The management of tiles in the reports needs enhancements, and it would be useful if, by leveraging some AI, the program could suggest the most suitable reports based on the workload. Additionally, in on-premise environments, there have been issues with permissions during configuration.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor offers me clear monitoring with query history and allows me to quickly identify performance issues. Compared to the management studio, it explains the queries by highlighting problems and improvements.
Effortless SQL Monitoring with Stellar Support
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user interface, dashboard display, and the organization features in Redgate Monitor. The ability to create tags helps in organizing and pulling reports more efficiently. The alerts are also a great feature. The metrics and details the dashboards display are valuable, and I can quickly access a lot of information, which saves me time when identifying potential issues. The initial setup was good, and their technical support was very helpful when I ran into any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think Redgate Monitor should also monitor the disk space (free/usage) of the disk that the instance is installed on. Many issues happen just because we run out of space on the disk.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor gives us real-time analysis of SQL instances, saving time by displaying detailed metrics upfront. It helps maintain 24/7 operations for in-house applications and offers excellent organization features like dashboards, tags, and alerts.
Effortless Monitoring, Rich Metrics Display
What do you like best about the product?
I like Redgate Monitor's ability to bring metrics from multiple servers together in one easy to view window without complex set up of the dashboard. It's super easy to use when setting up alerting. I appreciate how I can quickly check VM disk usage, including predictions on when the disk may become full. The graphs for each database/server and the ability to group resources by function are very helpful. Overall, the dashboard is easy to view, and compared to the Azure portal, Redgate Monitor is generally easier and quicker to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently the initial installation isn't the simplest. I initially had some issues setting up the correct network rules to allow it to connect to my VMs. This is now covered in the documentation for the product and not an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor to easily view metrics from databases on Azure VMs and SQL databases, set up alerts, check VM disk usage, and group resources. It simplifies viewing metrics from multiple servers in one window and setting up alerts effortlessly.
Extremely Detailed Monitoring That Massively Improved Our Query Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate monitor is great, it's extremely detailed and has enabled us to improve query performance massively. We have been able to diagnose issues faster, leading to reduced business downtime. The software is easy to use and highlights key information well. Interactions with Redgate staff have been good, any support has been quickly resolved.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of Redgate is slightly high, and the customisation on user access controls could be improved with SSO or per-user login.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Highlighting query inefficiency and performance issues, highlighting where missing indexes could improve performance, alerting to when certain thresholds are met such as CPU usage, AVG query wait time and letting the team know ahead of end users.
Essential Tool for SQL Performance and Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I really love using Redgate Monitor for managing and supporting SQL Managed Instances on Azure, which is fantastic. The reporting functionality is something we absolutely love, especially the ability to create really structured alerts. The dashboards are pretty customizable, allowing us to see the health of any node at any time. This tool has helped us diagnose database performance issues over the years, saving us a ton of money and SLA credits. We also appreciate the proactive monitoring and alerting capabilities that notify our development team of any issues. So, yeah, we love that as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was pretty straightforward overall, but there were some initial issues with the managed instance, but nothing we couldn't get past with the help of support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Redgate Monitor for SQL managed instances. It helps diagnose database performance issues, saving us money and SLA credits. It allows team members to detect non-performing database parts and provides monitoring and alerting, benefiting our development team.

What do you like best about the product?
Redgate provides a great overview of your database landscape, and allows for deep dives in analytics, and performance metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see improvements made to monitoring and alerting from redgate. Rollup of similar errors/alerts from the same server, and improved availability group alerting would be a great addition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate has been an invaluable tool to monitor our database estate, and dig deep into performance problems
