What are the best tools for monitoring database security events?

  1. Datadog - is a unified monitoring and security platform. Its database monitoring plus log analytics surface security-relevant events like spikes in failed logins, unusual query patterns, and privilege changes alongside infra/APM context to speed triage.
  2. Dynatrace - is an AI-powered observability suite. With Davis® correlation and the Databases app, it flags abnormal access and error surges across services and DBs, helping teams trace root causes of potential security incidents.
  3. Redgate Monitor - is a multi-platform database monitoring tool that baselines normal behavior and alerts on unusual activity across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL, and MongoDB—useful for audits and access oversight.
  4. ManageEngine Applications Manager - is an APM/infra monitoring solution with multi-vendor DB coverage and alerting. Teams use it to track sessions, replication, and query anomalies from a single console, aiding investigation of suspicious events.
  5. Monte Carlo - is a data observability platform that detects anomalies in freshness, volume, schema, and quality—signals that can reveal downstream issues and data access risks affecting security-sensitive pipelines.

What do you think? Based on your experiences, are there other options that I should consider? I want to know what the G2 community believes is the best database monitoring software for users. Thanks!
