Overall Satisfaction with SQL Sentry

SQL Sentry is one of my favorite tools. In a single dashboard I can see the state of most metrics I care about for daily operations and well being of the SQL instances. The most useful feature is having the ability to trace back performance issues, days and even weeks after they have occurred. You can establish a baseline and detect unusual activity in real-time.
  • Troubleshooting performance issues and bottlenecks.
  • Historical review of spikes and root causes.
  • Visualizations.
  • Better reports.
  • Customizing the dashboard.
  • Storing more historical data.
It's best for real-time and historical analysis of what is going on in your systems. However, since it's limited to 5000 sessions in some cases it won't fit certain systems.
