# What are the top-rated database monitoring platforms for cloud deployments?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I want to start a discussion focused on database monitoring platforms for <strong>cloud deployments</strong> that teams are actually using and finding value in. While some tools lean enterprise, there are several with features and integrations that make sense for smaller teams operating in AWS, Azure, or GCP.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">These are some of the top-rated options on G2’s <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/database-monitoring">Database Monitoring</a> category:</p><ul>

</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If you’ve implemented any of these or others for cloud deployments, I’d love to hear what worked well, what didn’t, and which tools were surprisingly helpful.</p>
