Fantastic, responsive monitoring - all the info I need readily available
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate tells me everything I wanted to know about my databases and databaser servers - and things I didn't know I wanted to know!
What do you dislike about the product?
The installation was a little more involved that originally thought, but it wasn't hard to get going.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping an eye on health and performance of our critical databases and database servers
Lot's of tools, falling behind.
What do you like best about the product?
I like all the different monitors. Being able to see top 10 queries by expense and have a means of investigating how to troubleshoot or resolve issues. In terms of SQL Server Enterprise and to some extent Azure SQL, the tool is pretty mature and very dependable. The UI is easy to learn and using the tool becomes second nature. It was easy to setup and get rolling. My DBA's use it multiple times a day to make sure not only do we not have issues. But we are making improvements on performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple of improvements that could fit in this space:
- Better integration with other Red-Gate products (SQL Backup, SQL Prompt, etc)
- We need a solution for security and being able to review security and effective roles at a glance, search, and perspectives. Yes you can do this with code. But we need a faster, visual, facilitated tool.
- ***BIG ONE*** - You guys are making good progress in incorporating other databases (Postgres). However, you are missing the boat on MS Stack which is where your core competency has been for decades and where new tools in MS like Fabric, Synapse, Azure SQL, and Purview are going uncared for. Licensing for SQL Server Enterprise is getting out of control and it is obvious they are pushing people towards SAAS. And there is a huge opportunity for new products to support SAAS as there are very few options out there to fill gaps, especially with your tenure in this role. Example would be monitoring of Fabric resources. Right now we have FUAM, which is great. But it's not enterprise great in leadership's minds. They will pay if you will offer. Or, you go the way of Idera and others, ride the cash-cow and fade into the sunset. I would rather see Red-Gate succeed.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance. Every SQL user has different abilities. We can see that in query performance and can give them visibility into what we see so Red-Gate becomes the source of truth AND reason.
Best SQL Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
What I love about Redgate Monitor is not just the fact that you can monitor your SQL real estate in one Portal (great if your a CSP), but the fact it provides recommendations on how to fix Stored Procedures that have the largest impact on the performance of your Database Servers. The new features around Security compliance is definitely going to be a game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation can be improved. Sometimes it can be challenging to find something you might have stumbled across before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had an Application that has grown over the 20 year life span of the product, and over that time our Database was not uniform across all our environments. Additionally, because have SaaS platform, some customers had their own Databases vs the Shared Model, and so there was a lot of Drift with regards to Stored Procedures and in some cases, DB Schemas. But Red Gate Monitor has helped identify areas of improvement that we can tackle in a safe manner.
Powerful all-in-one tool for monitoring SQL server
What do you like best about the product?
The tool is easy to use and provides great insight with minimal out of the box changes. From a single dashboard you can monitor all your SQL Server instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Licenses are expensive if you need to add additional instances. It's a powerful tool so the cost is easily justified for mission critical SQL workloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proactively identifying issues before they cause downtime.
RedGate Monitor - Useful Tool for Our Environment
What do you like best about the product?
Redgate Monitor offers a user-friendly interface with real-time dashboards, making it easy to monitor our SQL Server database health across on-premises and cloud environments. Its customizable alerting system and detailed performance reports help proactively identify and resolve issues, saving time and preventing escalations. The ability to manage multiple servers from one location is a major plus for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
While effective, the product can be resource-intensive, causing noticeable server performance impact during constant monitoring. We have noticed limited customization options for reports and a lack of built-in fix suggestions for identified issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor helps us solve the business problem of ensuring database performance and reliability by providing real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and alerting for SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and other databases. It enables us to be proactive in identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks, query issues, and server health problems, reducing downtime and ensuring smooth operations. It’s much easier to monitor than it is to put out fires.
Enterprise scale monitor, great service
What do you like best about the product?
The customer support and sales process was excellent, from POC to implementation. We are now able to monitor our entire state, including non-SQL databases. It has integrated well into our tech stack as a cost-effective replacement for SQL Sentry.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are suggestions that it is not as advanced as a diagnostic tool compared to other options, such as SQL Sentry.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor is allowing us to monitor all of our Production servers across various database types.
Broad SQL Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Monitoring for both Postgres and SQL Server
What do you dislike about the product?
Integration for SSO was complex for Okta
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring and alerting for SQL performance concerns.
Great tool to add
What do you like best about the product?
Provides real-time performance monitoring with an easy to read dashboard. Customizable alerting system is very useful and it helped us proactively address DB issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Overwhelming for first time users, steep learning curve and costs are concerns for smaller organizations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps us easily identify performance issues and slow-running queries. We relied on manual checks before and reactive troubleshooting, now with real-time alerts we can address problems before they start impacting our user base.
Monitoring that Monitors
What do you like best about the product?
It monitors not only the SQL Server but the actual server at the same time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could provide more information related to the actual server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides information on what the server was doing when an issue occurred along with some informational query data.
Good for database overview
What do you like best about the product?
In a simple way it gives me a good overview ofthe database environment on all layers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor UI features lacking such as tracking queries per user and make it more transparent what SQL server node is the active one in a cluster.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping use to identify issues with database systems on all layers, from hardware up to tsql.
