    I am currently evaluating the products (Spotlight/iWatch from Qwest)

    and (DiagnosticManger from NetIQ) for monitoring SQL 2000/7.0. I would

    appreciate anyone that could point out any gottcha's in either.

    Opinions are ok too.

    Thanks 🙂

    We have Spotlight on SQL Server by Quest. I like this software and use it alot. I can leave it running all day without it impacting our server and check it when I like, it makes it easy to keep an eye on it. Being a Junior DBA, this product is very useful to me, as sometimes I dont know the command for something and know where to see it in Spotlight. I dont know how a more senior dba would think about it, i'm not sure they would really want to use it.

    I've only looked at both from a review perspective and the Quest product gets my vote hands down. Interface is far richer. Just my opinion.
