Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The reports generated and the old statistics shown are really helpful."

"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."

"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."

"Improved monitoring and performance management."

"It is very stable. We have had no issues."

"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."

"This product allows for much easier cross server monitoring and administration."

"SQL Server Configuration: This allows admins to compare and edit server configurations for one or more SQL servers saving a lot of time when managing large numbers of instances."

Cons

"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."

"In the case of any particular SQL which is executing for a longer time and causing issues with any particular store or DB2 programs, if it could pinpoint the problems like any other tool should do, that would be really helpful."

"Minor stability issues."

"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."

"A set of T-SQL admin snippets might be useful, e.g., code to create users, databases, indexes, etc. It would definitely be welcomed in the bundle."
