SQL Monitor - Informative and Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
Red Gate Monitor is equipped with lots of function which is useful for MSSQL administration needs. It is easy to manage, easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to generate custom report that provides word in the report instead of only showing the number of occurance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Redgate Monitor provides monitoring systems, including the SQL server health, and deep into the queries execute by user.
Best all-in-one commercial SQL Database Monitoring tool!
What do you like best about the product?
Our team was having trouble monitoring our databases and environments in one place. We did not have the manning or capacity to create a custom solution, so we started exploring 3rd party monitoring tools. No other tool came close to RedGate monitor, both in terms of features/breadth of monitoring functions and in terms of price.
The fact that we can monitor server, instance, and database health in one tool is a game changer. The customization available for pre-made alerts is great, and the ability to create custom alerts is a huge help. In the first two months, we identified 3 separate configuration/performance issues with our systems that we were able to resolve and optimize!
RedGate customer support has also been stellar, from initial demos to tweaking and troubleshooting after installation. Installing RedGate monitor was surprisingly easy.

What do you dislike about the product?
The custom monitoring reports feature has been difficult to set up and troubleshoot, and the customizability of the reports is lacking. It is still somewhat useful to provide a basic snapshot to our managers on a weekly basis, but it is limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to monitor all of our servers, instances, and databases in one place makes it much easier to identify critical issues before they become a bigger problem for our customers. We've ben able to resolve sporadic backup schedules, update database configurations to meet best practice standards, and ensure that we are performing regular integrity checks on all of our servers and databases.
Very powerful tool providing clear information highlighting any potential issues.
What do you like best about the product?
Shows issues and bottlenecks in a clear and easy manner.

Alerting System: A very well-configured and higly customizable alerting system that displays timely notifications about performance issues or potential bottlenecks saves time and prevents problems from escalating.
Troubleshooting: Easy-to-understand performance reports with clear visualizations and actionable insights which makes it easy to identify problems. Also, plenty of refence documentation helping with the troubleshooting
Ease of implementation:
Initial setup: The installation is straightforward and supported by useful documentation.

What do you dislike about the product?
From personal experience, these are a few things that i would like to see in future versions:
Server monitoring: It would be a nice feature to be able to select the servers inside the cluster that we want to monitor, instead of having, by default, all the servers in the WSFCI added into the dashboard.
Reporting: the reporting functionality is highly useful and customizable, helping us to chose from a large variety of parameters, but it would be great to be able to have a few reports on more generic topics such as: availability group details, database information (size, location, extended properties, etc) , cluster details, user and security configuration details.

SQL Monitoring has been helping the Database team to perform the daily monitoring checks (backups, overall health, availability, etc) within a single, user-frendly interface. It contributed a lot in proactively monitoring and preventing incidents to our environments.
Redgate SQL monitor Review
What do you like best about the product?
The software is open source and free for the people who wants to learn SQL and would like to join the SQL related professions. It is easily integrated with visual studio.
What do you dislike about the product?
The database and scripts need to be run according to the windows version, which is 64 or 32 bit. We need to open the SSMS to import the database if the size of the file is huge. It is a little annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a management tool for different Databases and has global usability. The deploy function of Redgate is quite advanced and user friendly and helps to deploy the functionalities for multiple databases.
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.
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.
