By conducting thorough study and providing detailed reports, I was able to enhance query performance and optimise resource utilisation with my databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SQL Sentry is truly one centralized solution where you can monitor all SQL server performance, issues, logs, and reports.
The performance metrics SQL Sentry provide is not just bar graph like the other tools display, it is calculated value that shows the true status of the SQL server.

Sometimes, when there is a WMI issue, it stops working and doesn't get refreshed even after WMI issue is fixed.
It would be better to add refresh button on the server level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you don't know why the SQL server is busy or when what happened and why, Sentry One can help.
