Monitor makes it easy for us to receive immediate relevant notifications and alerts about performance, locking and other impactful events across our whole estate of SQL Servers. That single portal for monitoring all of our SQL Servers makes life so much easier. It is easy to setup and configure and can be tailored to the specific notifications that are most relevant to you or your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times I feel like I am not maximising what we could be getting from the product. A lot of that is on me and to do with not having the time to spend more time becoming expert in the product. Occasionally (and this is in relation to previous versions and we havent had any issue with this in the last year) I have had it where regardless of what I did I could not get a server to connect to monitor. That almost made the product unusable for us for about 8 months. However, Redgate appear to have resolved this issue and we have begun using Monitor again for more than a year now with no issues.

I like Redgate Monitor's ability to bring metrics from multiple servers together in one easy to view window without complex set up of the dashboard. It's super easy to use when setting up alerting. I appreciate how I can quickly check VM disk usage, including predictions on when the disk may become full. The graphs for each database/server and the ability to group resources by function are very helpful. Overall, the dashboard is easy to view, and compared to the Azure portal, Redgate Monitor is generally easier and quicker to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently the initial installation isn't the simplest. I initially had some issues setting up the correct network rules to allow it to connect to my VMs. This is now covered in the documentation for the product and not an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is easy to use and helps to quickly and easily surface difficult to get information about SQL Server, e.g. digging through DMV's will get the same information, but would take a lot longer.

The price provides good value for money too.

The UI is responsive and intuitive so senior leadership can understand what the is being shown too Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have quite a specific issue, where I want to be able to track execution plan changes for a particular query, and while the information is in Redgate, it takes many clicks to get to is Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redgate is extremely intuitive, presenting you the most important metrics of your SQL servers at glance. Also, it understands how SQL server behaves: queries, waits, blocking, etc. facilitating the DBA troubleshooting process. Redgate Monitor is designed for DBA-focused visibility, and does not bring other "distractions". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've noticed many times Redgate agent as our top consumer on TempDB usage login. We have also noticed the agent blocking one of our internal processing order job (coming from the SQL Server Instance path - confirmed by Redgate Support). The fact that Redgate does not integrate with other components, limits its value as a "company-wide observability". On-premise version is hard to enable AI features, as it depends on enabling Internet connectivity to servers placed in a restricted network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redgate Monitor is most helpful for quickly and confidently troubleshooting database performance issues. Its intuitive interface and clear metrics make it easy to identify root causes without digging through multiple tools or manual scripts. One of the biggest upsides is the significant reduction in time, stress, and uncertainty issues that once took hours or even days to diagnose can now be resolved much faster. For my Team, Redgate Monitor streamlines day-to-day DBA work, improves efficiency, and makes managing database performance far more enjoyable and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Redgate Monitor is very powerful, there are a few areas that I think could be improved. Some advanced metrics and features can feel overwhelming at first and require time to fully understand. Secondly, Initial setup and configuration / upgrade can also be a bit time-consuming, especially in larger or more complex environments. Additionally, customization of dashboards and custom alerting would make it even more flexible for different environment needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a very small shop this is the best product to help the DBA troubleshoot issues. We work with a third party vendor and have been able to use the Redgate product to find issues that we reported back to the vendor. We even did it so often that the vendor changed their product to start using Redgate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We do not use Oracle, Postgres, or other database products, just Microsoft SQL Server which is why we bought the original SQL Monitor.

All the other added database products are just extra weight and the continued notices about other products is annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The single dashboard that shows the whole SQL server estate makes it easy to spot issues.

And the analysis tab which helps invesigate issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The number of alerts that get generated. It would be nice to be able to flag an alert that we have begun work on so that redgate monitor knows that ut is a known issue being worked on and to stop spamming this particular alert during thistime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has turned our database operations from a blackbox into a well known overview of everything impacting our customers. It used to be that we only review issues on customer complaint, now we have a daily monitoring team using the product. It has also helped us prioritize what to optimize so that we can deliver more customer value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some infrequent and minor bugs that while reported were not able to be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is great at monitoring our SQL databases, allowing us fast insight into resource contentions due to processes and queries having issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I frequently have issues after our redgate server restarts, where the web service doesn't start. If you run into that, set the service to auto (delayed) to fix it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the new AI feature. Just today, I planned a service window for a SQL Server Enterprise cluster hosting several instances by asking the Red Gate assistant in a prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is on the high end, so I can’t afford to host all of my servers there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
