Overall Satisfaction with SQL Sentry
Monitors five servers, many with production issues. The old environment had been very neglected until a DBA was hired. I am the DBA's backup.
- Query Logging, for evaluating performance.
- Network logging, for detecting network issues.
- Query plan view is VERY nice. Better than MS-SQL's native query plan visualization.
- Object browser isn't the most intuitive. the "All Targets" heading is fine, but its a little weird to have your servers underneath "Default Site". Perhaps there's functionality I'm missing, but I still think the default setting should be more clear. Perhaps rename it to "Servers".
- TrueSight Server Automation (formerly BladeLogic Automation Suite)
The SQL Sentry sales reps and technical employees have been wonderful to work with. They have taken the extra time to educate us on the product, and they have made sure we are using it to its fullest potential. I have had a wonderful experience as a user of this tool. Needless to say, I did NOT have this experience with Blade-Logic.
