It's ease of use, attractive and intuitive UI, the sheer breath of metrics that can be reported / alerted on ( and filtered out if not needed) , the estate menu (backups, disk space and so on) is also very handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redgate Monitor is straightforward to implement and configure, intuitive to use, and simple to manage. Its alerting system is exceptionally reliable—delivering accurate notifications without false positives. It immediately detects when a monitored Windows service is not running and sends an alert notification. Additionally, it's an excellent tool for performance troubleshooting and index tuning, making it a valuable asset for any SQL Server environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One feature I’d like to see added is capacity planning. Having built-in tools for forecasting disk usage trends would greatly enhance the ability to manage storage more proactively and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GUI is a bit old looking

documentation not that easy to read.

There are things in the web site that don't appear to have been thought through. Like not being able to see if there is a new version when the web sever is not connected to the Internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Single pain of glass. Easy to monitor database like MSSQL, Oracle, Mysql and PostgreSQL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its centralized and user-friendly web interface is what really strikes me. Whether a database is on-premises, virtualized, or in the cloud, having a single dashboard that offers a thorough overview of the entire database estate seems incredibly efficient.

Another noteworthy feature, in my opinion, is the proactive and intelligent alerting system. Providing the in-depth diagnostics required to promptly identify and address the underlying cause is just as important as alerting you to an issue. In my opinion, database administrators greatly benefit from the ability to shift from reactive "firefighting" to proactive problem-solving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to list the main things I don't like about Redgate Monitor, it would be the price. Despite its strong features, this may make it a less accessible choice especially when I have only 5 instances and I have to pay for all of them , no volume discounting

The procedure for installing updates is another issue that comes up from time to time with my tech team, Although the product is generally reliable,my team has indicated that updates aren't always as smooth as one might expect and sometimes call for troubleshooting.

The only real barrier to us as an NHS organisation is the cost. I was offered a three month trial of Redgate Monitor and was very happy with what it could do, but we couldn't get the cost authorised when we already have in-house solutions monitoring for similar issues.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
