For a wide range of problems, Redgate Monitor provides suggested solutions and approaches directly in the tool. The team can apply them right away, saving time spent on lengthy solution searches.

Redgate Monitor promotes collaboration as it can be used by both database administrators and developers. Giving developers access to the diagnostic data for the servers they work with will help them better understand the impact of code changes (e.g. on CPU) and both teams can work together to avoid problems affecting your customers.

A consistent user experience means unified results and the ability to work across platforms and teams, with one tool.
