Author infoRatingReview Summary
Sr. Database Administrator at Comcast Business4.5I use Quest Spotlight for troubleshooting and performance alerting, valuing its granular drill-down analysis for root cause identification and proactive issue prevention. It's cost-effective in smaller environments, though it lacks features like index suggestions offered by other tools.
Group Product Manager at Uop Ipl4.5I use Quest Spotlight for designing public APIs in the initial development cycle. Its SaaS nature allows easy integration with source controls like GitHub, though it lacks support for webhooks and advanced API specifications, affecting model consistency.
