If you are frequent user of sql monitor so you don’t need to use any other monitoring tool. > > **Cons**: The only alarming thing is it takes many resources. ----- ### "DBA's review on Redgate SQL Monitor" — 4.0/5 > **Edwin** | *21 November 2018* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Gives you deep insight on the database and (SQL Server) instance level to check out the health of your entire SQL Server Estate in near real time. Quickly drilldown to reported potential problems, such as long running queries, analyse actual queryplans and get recommendations from that as well. Many possibilities to configure alerts and notifications way down to individual processes, jobs or at a higher level like database or server instance ... They have a superb support crew and are introducing new features and functionality at high speed, realy listening very closely to users for feature requests ... > > **Cons**: Takes a while to get a good understanding of what you're looking at, but once you watch the onlne videos or documentation it's a great asset in monitoring the SQL Server estate. > > Get a good overview on what's going on on your SQL Server estate and narrow down potential problems up to the milisecond. Teamleads are getting more and more excited once they run into trouble and are able to pinpoint a most certain bad process\! ----- ### "Visually nice, otherwise not my bag" — 4.0/5 > **Glyn** | *15 November 2018* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nicely presented stats and metrics, easy to use tool > > **Cons**: Not very many benefits really if you know what you're looking for already and have existing more central monitoring tools. ----- ### "Monitor SQL, now easier than ever" — 4.0/5 > **Dandre Adriaan** | *20 June 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent Customer Service.Frequent Updates and Improvements.Insights and reporting for DBAs to monitor across multiple Servers. > > **Cons**: Pricing is a bit steep for a product that only is being used for daily monitoring. > > Overall great\! Good introduction to various teams I have worked with. I do see a decline in usage as more businesses tend to move away from structured SQL and onsite servers. However SQL Monitor still works well and you tend to miss it when you are working on a server without it ----- ### "Outstanding product which is constantly being improved." — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *20 June 2018* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was on the beta test team and have seen the product grow from a very basic monitoring tool into one that puts nearly anything I would want to look at, right at my fingertips. Not only am I warned when conditions are getting ugly, I can very quickly figure out why\! But the most importantly thing about the product, is the development cycle. They are constantly fixing and improving it with updates/patches nearly every 2 weeks. > > **Cons**: I want to preface this with nearly all updates go without a hitch, but ... With such an aggressive release schedule, testing is obviously limited. This only happened once in the 10 years of the product, but I was one of the casualties. There was an update that left a transaction open in a version of SQL Server, that was a few releases back. You do this with software that does a lot for a long time, and things start to break. > > It does the work I would need to do myself. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/294394/sql-monitor?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/294394/sql-monitor) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
