Solution Architect at SA Consulting
Helps us provide visibility into network performance, capacity planning, and cost analysis
Better support and more accessible resources are crucial. Customers have expressed that support is not as flexible, and it is difficult to obtain necessary information quickly. Customers would benefit from improved training material for integration with other products. The solution's pricing is high and needs to be reconsidered, and the technical support should improve to provide more accessible and open information.
Micah Richards - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Unisys
Centralized monitoring has reduced outages and enables faster diagnosis across all database servers
The best features Redgate Monitor offers include detailed resource monitoring, instant alerts, and easy customization. A user can quickly see how your server is performing and which queries are taking the longest. The instant alerts and customizable options help since it is a multiple-platform database observability for the entire estate. I use this to optimize performance, ensure security, and mitigate potential risks with fast, deep-dive analysis and intelligent alerting. I love Redgate Monitor because it helps manage an entire database estate from a single pane of glass. Redgate Monitor has positively impacted my organization by creating database observability to proactively mitigate potential risks with instant problem diagnosis and customizable alerting. It accelerates daily database maintenance by automating time-consuming manual tasks, such as identifying long-running queries or tracking blocked processes, which frees up time to proactively improve the performance and security of servers. I have seen time savings from twenty percent to forty-five percent. It also helps to minimize downtime.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The dashboarding is pretty extensive and is easy to use."
"I enjoy the product; it has done everything that we expected it to do."
"Prior to using this solution, we had three point solutions in place; one for voice infrastructure, one for servers, and one for networks, and this tool meant we were actually able to collapse everything into a single interface which made my team's life easier, but it also meant that our first line staff then just had one view of the customer's entire infrastructure."
"We have seen, over the last 4 or 5 years, about a 30% decrease in escalations in crisis management, less severity events because we are trending and tracking against thresholds so we get early warning alerts."
"We have it integrated with Salesforce, so it’s great for auto creating, sending data to Salesforce and creating cases, proactively monitoring our customers' systems."
"I’ve actually pointed people to UIM because it can be simple."
"We have less downtime, and we have alerting to let us know when disks are filling up so that we get that taken care of before it becomes an issue and is noticeable to customers."
"I recall the initial setup being straightforward."
"Redgate Monitor has positively impacted my organization by creating database observability to proactively mitigate potential risks with instant problem diagnosis and customizable alerting."
"Redgate Monitor has impacted our organization positively by helping us simplify day-to-day tasks and realize a feeling of security."
 

Cons

"I would like to see them improve integrations with other CA products to use the data on dashboards and more widgets on UIM dashboards."
"The probes (basic components that can, amongst other things, monitor particular systems) can be buggy."
"The company has not kept pace with developments."
"The environment around UIM is sometimes complex and can cause some instability."
"Since this solution is new to me, I don't know if it was properly scaled out for our environment to be as efficient and effective as it needs to be."
"Multi-tenancy for ICMP profiles of servers is not there."
"They should further test their probe development. If we add a probe to pick out certain metrics from a particular platform, it’s not easy and there are some issues."
"Most of the time, we need to restart the monitoring server when deploying new features."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I must say I don't favor the subscription model, and the price is somewhat higher."
"It is a bit expensive for MSPs to use for their day-to-day monitoring."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for DX Unified Infrastructure Management isn't cheap at all. It's a complex tool, so you have to pay more. No one is happy with a large bill to pay, but if it's a complex product and you designed a complex solution to be monitored, it'll be your fault that you need to buy an expensive product, and that would be implicit in the design of DX Unified Infrastructure Management. Monitoring is just a small part of it. Sometimes you have to pay a significant amount of money for a complex yet very good solution."
"CAD $400,000 annually."
"The license cost depends on the number of probes and robots."
"Reasonable setup cost and licensing prices."
"This product is expensive compared to other vendors (SolarWinds, ManageEngine)."
"The product-price ratio is better than other brands such as Fortinet or SonicWall."
