Pros y Contras de Redgate Monitor

We have been using RedGate Monitoring Tool for SQL servers for the past two years, every day, and since then i could form an opinion on the following:

Ease of Use:

Interface: A user-friendly interface with clear dashboards updated in real-time and intuitive navigation .

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.

Monitoring setup: Adding and removing servers from the monitoring dashboard is easy and straightfoarward, with documentation provided in case of issues.

Monitoring and operations:

We use RedGate monitoring tool daily to perform our daily routine checkups and to proactively monitor for any issues throughout the day, which helped us prevent and reduce the number of incidents significantly since implementation Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

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.

I have been using Redgate SQL Monitor for a few years now, after testing several competing solutions, and although, it is a bit pricey (although, considering the work and continuous development invested in the application, it is NOT pricey), I strongly consider that the solution is worth every cent.

Especially when monitoring vast environments, you get a holistic view on your estate health and can easily and quickly identify if something is not working as expected so that you can proactively intervene.

Implementation is a breeze as well.

Customer support is amazing and very, very responsive.

Easy problem identification thanks to the vast amount of information available, easy monitoring of the estate at a single view.

I am strongly encouraging everyone to test this solution, as it provides a friendly overview for novice or seasoned DBAs and, not only. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

If you have servers in an AlwaysOn Availability Group, it wants to connect to all of them as well as the load balancer. If your load balancer isn't configured to pass WMI as well as SQL traffic, SQL Monitor will fail to install. That can be a problem if you don't have permission to change the load balancer configuration. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
