Opinions about Idera Database Management Tools

Hello-
Does anyone use Idera Dataase Management Tools? If so, what has your
experiencce been? Would anyone recommend a different databse management
application (esp. for performance tuning, alerts, and easy perusal of DB
statistics.)
Regards-
Eric
I like their tools. DM is quicker, easier to set up then
something like netIQ or MOM. For the money, the tools give
pretty good information and offer ease of use.
They seem to be a decent company to deal with when I've
worked with them before. You can download trial versions
from their site.

|||Ditto for me. Their tools are quick and easy. Ohter companies do have more
in-depth stuff, but take longer to set up and typically cost more to
purchase. Their tech support folks make a big effort to help you solve
underlying problems. Also, their product release cycle seems pretty
agressive. They are constantly coming out with new and improved stuff which
makes the maintenance cost well worth it.
