  I have been trying to monitor our SQL environment with Microsoft Operations Manager and it had been doing ok untill we went with a 64 bit SQL Cluster. We have 9 SQL Instances on it and sure more will come and opsmgr has become so unreliable that I've become disgusted with it.

  I'm looking for a tools that can sent alerts if someting happens on the SQL Server, like job failures, Databases offline, locks, server down, Cluster failover, Low disk space, Low memory, Replication failures and many more.

  What are some of the Monitoring tools that you use in your Environmement and how have they worked.

  Thanks

  I use Idera Sql Diangnostics manager and it works well. You can go to Idera's website and download 15 day trial.
