    IBM Rational ClearCase might be better suited for a smaller / simpler code base. Larger code bases really slow it down... but then again there are better alternatives out there for source control

    Redgate
    With mission-critical SQL Server instances at multiple physical locations and in the cloud, it's critical for us to know immediately when there are performance issues or outages. The Redgate SQL Monitor provides an intuitive dashboard that allows for detailed resource monitoring. Perhaps not as useful in a 100% managed SQL environment.

    Pros
    IBM
    • Rational ClearCase is excellent for handling versioning and branching. No other tool I've used has the depth that ClearCase has when it comes to handling complex branching scenarios and identifying where certain versions of particular files are within a particular configuration.
    • Rational ClearCase handles parallel development of many dependent applications really well.
    • The use of ClearCase Views to switch between projects and configurations is extremely convenient as opposed to the local workstation model of the competitors.

    Redgate
    • It is easy to use and provides very good reporting on the SQL servers being monitored. These reports are used in our monthly customer reports.
    • Redgate does a very good job at improving the product, fixing bugs and adding new features compared to other products I have researched.
    • The insights provided makes it an ideal tool for database administrators and software developers.

    • Openness - They are too attached to their Intellectual Property to the detriment of usability, stability and reliability. So once its is installed and working leave it alone. Best run it on a VM as that can be restored quickly for when it breaks.
    • If they exposed an API/SDK that allowed you to leaver their products life would be far sweeter, it would feel less of a battle.
    • Add WebHooks to SQL Monitor to enhance integration to other subsystems.
    • Make it easy to install in default mode. So you are not forced to use TomCat Use as ASP.Core Selfl Hosting options.

    In general, the Redgate dashboard is one of the most thorough yet intuitive products I've had the pleasure of using. Compared to other vendors in different verticals, the Redgate dashboard's deployment, configuration, monitoring, and reporting is second to none

    If development is centrallized to one location and your company releases hundreds of customized versions of your software per year, then ClearCase is the best tool for managing the complexity of multiple versions of customized software. If your company has globally distributed development, then I'd recommend Team Foundation Server over ClearCase. If your organization uses Agile Methodologies, then I'd recommend TFS with GIT.

    I personally prefer SQL Sentry due to the flexibility in the custom metrics/monitoring but this is still a great product!!

    • Managed code versioning for many years.
    • Only one person can edit code at a time - slows processing down.
    • IBM is an expensive product to support.
