| Considered Both Products | Chose SolarWinds SQL Sentry I found SQL Sentry to be the best bang for the buck by a good margin. Redgate makes great software too, so that is a big compliment in my book. Invited by the Vendor A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info | No answer on this topic |
