third-party monitoring tools

  • Does anyone have any experience good or bad with third-party monitoring tools such as Quest Performance Analysis, Idera, or any others? I used Quest Performance Analysis once before. I am at a new assignment in need of a performance monitoring tool and would like some recommendations or warnings.

  • We bought Idera's Diagnostic Manager recently.  Satisfied so far, and looking forward to some enhancements coming out.

    They all offer free trials, so load them on a test server and give them a try.   It also depends on your specific needs .... some had many more features than I was interested in or able to pay for.

  • have used diag manager ever since it was sql probe. It's good but I beleive the next version may be a server install which isn't so good.

    Terratrax performance monitor is good for capturing poor sql, it certainly saved me lots of time and helped me tune some databases.
