Lets you know when your jobs are taking longer than average and allows you to go back in history and find out what was happening at certain times

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."

"SQL Server Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."

"This solution has identified blocking, deadlock, memory pressure, and high CPU consumption issues."

"To be able to go back in history and find out what was happening at certain times is the most valuable feature of the product."

Cons

"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."

"If we can get details on wait types from system views, it will help identify a more detailed root cause."

"There could be some more metrics on the high availability to let us know when there are issues synchronizing between the hosts."
