Once you’ve set up the alerting properly, it becomes much easier to know what to do next. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably the onboarding. If the test connections step were more informative up front—especially about ports and similar details—I would have been able to troubleshoot some of our security and communication issues, as well as our related needs, much sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to troubleshoot performance issues during specific time windows, since it makes it easier to focus on what was happening at that moment and narrow down the cause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Automating the installation and initial setup is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity of Redgate Monitor and its very attractive interface. I find the analysis of queries and execution plans particularly useful, as it allows me to identify performance issues and possible improvements faster than the management studio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting section in Redgate Monitor should be improved. The management of tiles in the reports needs enhancements, and it would be useful if, by leveraging some AI, the program could suggest the most suitable reports based on the workload. Additionally, in on-premise environments, there have been issues with permissions during configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's the real-time alerts and the capability to quickly compare baseline metrics across different windows to understand & troubleshoot SQL performance variations to effectively support daily DBA operational requirements and business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the precise error messages and notifications from Redgate Monitor, as they help me identify and respond to issues directly. Additionally, I find the logging very helpful because it makes it easy to identify and understand problems. The setup of Redgate Monitor was also simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI must, I believe, be improved to make it a bit more modern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Redgate Monitor takes just ten minutes to install. It's also great that I can understand what to use in thirty seconds, which makes it really easy to get started. I appreciate being able to see the problem query within thirty seconds as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Yeah. When you look at the service that's working well, it still shows you the biggest query even though that query might be running in a hundred milliseconds. And so you can get a false assumption of a problem. When in fact everything's happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The type of information the tool provides, as well as the alerts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, there is nothing I dislike; the tool meets the needs of my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Redgate Monitor easy to use, which makes managing our production servers and SSIS smoother. The alerts are reliable, providing a trustworthy way to stay informed about any issues. The user interface is straightforward, allowing for an intuitive experience. Managing alerts is very easy, which adds to the overall usability of the software.

The only thing is the email alert for when an alert is cleared could be better - it’s not immediately obvious that it’s a clear event rather than a new alert. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Red-gate Monitor is its depth of visibility combined with ease of use. It provides clear, actionable insights across SQL Server environments without requiring heavy configuration or constant tuning. The performance analysis, alerting, and historical data views make it easy to quickly identify root causes rather than just symptoms.

The UI is intuitive and clean, which makes it simple to navigate between servers, drill into specific metrics, and understand trends over time. I also appreciate how it centralises monitoring across multiple instances, giving a consolidated view of estate health while still allowing detailed investigation when needed.

Overall, it strikes a strong balance between powerful monitoring capabilities and operational simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Redgate Monitor is very capable, there are areas where it could improve. Customization of alerts can sometimes feel limited, especially when trying to fine-tune thresholds for more complex or dynamic environments. In larger estates, alert noise can become a factor without careful configuration.

Reporting and dashboard customization could also be more flexible. While the built-in views are strong, creating highly tailored executive or operational reports sometimes requires additional effort.

Additionally, pricing can be a consideration, particularly for organizations monitoring a large number of servers, as costs scale with environment size.

Overall, none of these are deal-breakers, but they are areas where further flexibility and scalability enhancements would add value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
