Alternatives Considered	dbWatch Super amazing for data visualization. Magnifying with monitoring database 24/7 which is automatic. Great with developing mobile applications. Incentivized Simon Andrew Web Developer Read full review	Redgate Redgate SQL Monitor is a lot cheaper than SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer. I prefer the SolarWinds' design and that it offers integration with other SolarWinds products we already use. SolarWinds supports more than SQL servers (Oracle, MySQL, Maria DB, IBM DB2) and the analysis seems to be much better. The Spiceworks SQL Server monitoring is a free tool and is ideal for monitoring small business SQL instances. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
