Author Brad McGehee describes how using third-party tools can help you achieve more in your day:

"The Exceptional DBA fully understands how to use native SQL Server tools, but also keeps his or her eye open for other options. If a third-party tool is introduced that could greatly enhance their productivity, then they are willing to give it a try. Most DBAs are well-paid, and it is better to spend a few extra dollars on tools to reduce "drudgery" work, in order to free up time for the DBA to work on more important tasks."
