Regarding how Redgate Monitor can be improved, I think the capability to actually handle things would be a great feature. The ability to do things from a phone to a SQL server for standard issues would be beneficial. If someone is remote, they could handle the situation. Just alerting is great, but having the ability to act through the app would be valuable. I think it would be beneficial to be able to rerun failed jobs from a phone.

For improvement, I think Redgate Monitor's alert customization depth could be enhanced; I would appreciate more granular control over notification rules such as user permissions and alert grouping, as well as attention towards resource usage since Redgate Monitor can be resource-intensive. Addressing needed improvements, I believe a better learning curve for new users who might find features complicated could be beneficial; more simplified metrics dashboards would aid not just new users but anyone in navigating the tool more effectively.
One of the areas that Redgate Monitor needs to improve includes providing a dedicated section of code for missing indexes. I do not think the custom metric alerting is as flexible as SQL Sentry. It is a bit expensive for MSPs to use for their day-to-day monitoring. The automation layer could also be improved.
