What are your top recommended replacement solutions for Quest Foglight for Databases?

Hi community members,

I work at a Software company and right now, I'm looking for the replacement of Quest Foglight for DB (a cross-platform database monitoring tool).

Can you please recommend 2-3 (or more) products of your choice and elaborate on why you suggest them?

Thank you!

The price is worth it, if you have the time to go through the information. I have worked with the sales staff at Quest by talking to other potential customers, and have said, "If you don't have the time to focus on the issues that it can present to you, if you've got to split your time between database administration and system administration or helpdesk, then maybe Foglight is too much for you." There are other modules that you can add in for additional cost. For example, you can do network monitoring tools and I believe there's a physical Windows Server monitoring tool. We don't use those because our server team and network teams both have tools that they like better.
