User Testimonials
	Redgate SQL Monitor	Woodler SMT
Likelihood to Recommend	Redgate Redgate SQL Monitor is well suited for database administrators or companies who implement software that relies on SQL servers. It will help them test new changes and ensure this will not impact the performance of their software. It is a last resort for MSPs to use to get to the bottom of an ongoing performance issue with their SQL server. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Woodler s.r.o. Woodler SMT is intended to be [a] specialized SQL Server monitoring tool. Unlike other monitoring systems, Woodler SMT does not take care [of] networks, AD, and other stuff along [with] company infrastructures. As for me, at least, this makes the Woodler SMT very strong in its area of expertise. If anybody is looking for [professional,] specialized SQL performance monitoring, the Woodler SMT would be the best choice. For general monitoring, this tool rather will not help.

Pros	Redgate It will tell you if your server is under attack. You can quickly see how your server is performing and which queries are taking the longest I gives you the feeling that you are in control of your database, that you know what is going on for when they users ring up and tell you that the server is slow Incentivized Doug Thompson 2016-17 Full Stack Solution Architect Read full review	Woodler s.r.o. It contains all the diagnostics information that you need for optimization of queries, deep analysis of SQL server state, and much more Regular deployment of a new versions with minor fixes but mainly with the new features. It helps to make operational decisions, how to improve the performance and also expansion of the whole environment. Buying this also contains excellent service from the Woodler support.

Alternatives Considered	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	Woodler s.r.o. We like Woodler SMT because we can benefit from Woodler Support team to connect to our servers and help us with different issues. JT John Tecu IT Operations Project Manager Read full review

Day to day tasks as made simpler, and a feeling of security of realised. Just don't change anything. Incentivized Doug Thompson 2016-17 Full Stack Solution Architect Read full review	Woodler s.r.o.
