Advanced business features:
Simplified user permissions
Accessing a clear overview of user permissions and providing role-based access control is an ongoing challenge for database management teams that want to provide developers access to database environments while remaining compliant with both internal frameworks and standards and external regulations. The user permissions functionality in Redgate Monitor Enterprise provides a streamlined approach to maintaining security and compliance across all environments, addressing the issue of unauthorized changes and preventing unexpected issues during audits.
Its intuitive interface comprehensively tracks users’ past and present access rights, specifying the server, database and level of permissions granted, as well as identifying all users with access to a particular server. This data provides immediately actionable information on access rights, speeding up the reporting process. It can also be exported, filtered and searched to meet specific administrative needs, easing the time-consuming process of access management and providing full transparency for compliance reporting.
Simplified SQL Server configuration compliance
Many companies, particularly in highly regulated industries, are required to meet global standards when configuring their SQL servers, wherever they are located and on an ongoing, ongoing basis. Redgate Monitor Enterprise centralizes database and server configuration controls from a single dashboard where all configurations can be reviewed and managed against recognized security benchmarks. This allows DBAs to ensure their SQL Servers meet all compliance requirements without having to manually vet configurations. They can easily monitor configurations and generate reports, especially for large properties with numerous servers, greatly simplifying compliance efforts.
High availability architecture support
Five 9 availability is a typical SLA for businesses, with the expectation that applications and websites are up and running 99.999% of the time. Redgate Monitor Enterprise fully supports high availability architectures, allowing them to be installed within a resilient configuration, ensuring continuous monitoring thanks to the availability of backup servers ready to take over in the event of component failure. This is critical for businesses, for whom monitoring is critical to production, as it allows them to maintain database visibility without interruption.
Comprehensive and seamless data API
The Data API in Redgate Monitor Enterprise allows direct queries to your data repository by adding a REST API layer for user access. It allows you to create customized reports and integrate monitoring data into broader IT infrastructures. This is especially useful for large companies with specific reporting needs or those who want to easily embed tracking data into tools like Power BI dashboards.
