SQL Index Manager – analyze, manage, and fix database index fragmentation

SQL Index Manager enables you to quickly and easily find out the status of your indexes and discover which databases need maintenance. You can then choose to perform the maintenance task required through the UI, or view the T-SQL script to execute the command via SSMS.

• Detect index fragmentation: get a full report on indexes across your databases, including severity of fragmentation and the reasons for it.
• Fix fragmentation: choose which indexes to fix based on fragmentation severity – SQL Index Manager will perform the operation for you.
• Reorganize or rebuild: set which action to take, based on customizable rebuild and reorganization thresholds, and rebuild indexes online with SQL Server Enterprise Edition.
• Analyze over time: export the results of your analysis to track and report on fragmentation.
• Generate scripts: automatically generate T-SQL scripts to fix fragmentation.
