SQL Response ™
User testimonials
"Our events company has online ticketing systems that are hosted remotely, and need to be available around the clock. After a couple of unexpected outages, we realized that we needed a reliable monitoring solution from a proven industry vendor. SQL Response has been the perfect fit for us. The tool is lightweight, intuitive, and easy to setup. Best of all though, has been the fantastic support from the Red Gate team: timely, accurate, and professional. Great stuff, Red Gate!"
"We were migrating a 30 year old Unix/Cobol application to SQL Server, using middleware to translate the Cobol data requests into SQL. It all worked perfectly until it went live – then all sorts of SQL hangs and bomb-outs occurred – the customer WAS NOT HAPPY! SQL Response gave us the necessary low-level insight into what was really going on in SQL Server in real-time... without it, we would never have understood what was causing the problems, so as to get the middleware fixed. Thanks Red Gate, you saved our bacon!"
"SQL Response is a great addition to an already great line-up of "must have" tools for SQL Server."
"Red Gate provides tools for professionals that just make life easier. If you are a DBA or someone who spends time on, in, or around databases, here are just the tools for you.
Simple, lightweight, yet powerful applications that can help you manage backups and restores; tools to document, to compare and to easily write code, queries and reports, while saving countless hours at the same time. SQL Response, for example, enables you to monitor, get alerted and respond to SQL problems before they start, in an easy-to-navigate, user-friendly and visually precise way, with drill-down detail where you need it most.
I am not a DBA, but with these tools I am as good as any out there."
"You guys have great software. I am an Oracle DBA and fairly new to SQL Server, and the monitoring in SQL Response is excellent. We had a developer accidentally drop a database in development today and SQL Response caught it."
"Keeping an eye on our many SQL Server instances is much easier with SQL Response. I now have one place to look to see if my production servers are healthy and what routine maintenance is required.
The information is presented in a format that makes it easy to spot problems quickly. I particularly like the links to Red Gate's Support center that give me detailed background information and advice about the events and recommended resolutions. SQL Response also helps me deal with the 'challenges' that our development team continues to present on our development servers. Keep up the good work, Red Gate!"
"Very impressed! It's an easy installation and the tool is light-weight. It doesn't measurably impact my servers, and still provides great monitoring for all aspects of my server's health."
