Overall Satisfaction with SQL Sentry
SQL Sentry is being used by our IT department to monitor our SQL Servers. It lets us know when there is a performance problem or if there are issues with certain batch jobs.
- It gives real-time updates to performance issues.
- It monitors batch jobs and lets you know when a job completion time falls out of the minimum/maximum range for that job.
- Helps you identify the culprit when blocking or a deadlock is detected.
- It is not easy to figure out disk activity problems when red marching ants point to a particular database.
- It is not easy to analyze and re-assign licenses for SQL Monitoring vs. Windows Performance monitoring. It should be more intuitive and easier to transfer a license from a SQL Server or Windows machine that I know longer want to monitor.
- It is not always easy to drill into the Health Score details and find the pertinent server, database, SQL object, etc.
