User Testimonials
	IDERA SQL Diagnostic Manager for SQL Server	IDERA SQL Inventory Manager
Likelihood to Recommend	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) If you have several SQL servers and don't have a lot of time or resources to constantly monitor them, SQLdm will be very helpful. For one or two servers, it might be overkill. All of our servers are virtual, so having a tool that can monitor host metrics as well as guest metrics is a plus as well. Incentivized Greg Goss SQL Database and Business Intelligence Manager Read full review	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) No answers on this topic
Pros	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) Database query optimization. Monitoring of databases in real time. Performance analysis and trends in the database. Incentivized José Javier Dominguez Reina Jefe de Proyecto Read full review	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) No answers on this topic
Cons	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) Windows client has some issues. When you have small time intervals for your data collection, it can cause the client to become unresponsive and require you to restart it. It takes more time to get the web client running than it does to get the windows client running. The visualizations have been the same for the last eight years--could use a little bit of a refresh.

Alternatives Considered	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) IDERA SQL Diagnostic Manager for SQL Server is an excellent tool, however I think Solarwinds Database Perfromance Analyzer is a slightly stronger more well rounded product Incentivized Verified User Read full review	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) It saves me a significant amount of time each week, freeing me up for other important tasks. I couldn't possibly monitor each server individually to the extent that SQLdm does. With the wealth of information I can get to easily, I can be more proactive in taking care of my environments rather than reactive. The times when other people notice something happening before I do are few and far between.
