ManageEngine upgrades SQLDBManager Plus

ManageEngineManageEngine, today announced that it will provide real-time alerts for SQL Server audit activities on its availability and performance monitoring solution for Microsoft SQL Server, SQLDBManager Plus. This new capability notifies DBAs the moment any anomalous activity is detected and finds the root cause, enabling a faster threat mitigation response.

“Considering the wealth of valuable information organizations have in SQL Servers and the IT industry’s toughened security management guidance for SQL Servers, DBAs need a consolidated tool to monitor, report, and alert on SQL audit activities,” said Aravindhan Jaganathan, product manager at ManageEngine. “Now, SQLDBManager Plus instantly alerts on suspicious transactions and generates comprehensive audit reports. As a result, DBAs can take immediate corrective actions and prevent similar attacks in the future.”

The latest version of SQLDBManager Plus enhances its auditing capabilities with real-time audit alerts that are issued as soon as it tracks any unexpected changes in the server. The product lets users configure alarms for the audit events and receive alerts in real time, via email or SMS. It even lets users execute query actions for critical and unauthorized changes made to the SQL Server.

The comprehensive auditing system in SQLDBManager Plus provides robust reports that give insight into minute details of the SQL Server by tracking various events on multiple SQL Server instances. The pre-defined reports are augmented with additional custom reports, designed to meet specific user requirements.

The right combination of reports, with real-time alerts, will help database administrators identify potential internal and external threats to the security of the organization’s sensitive information, sustain regulatory compliance, tighten security, minimize risk and avoid unnecessary downtime.

SQLDBManager Plus v6 prices start at $795 for up to five SQL Server instances. A free, fully functional, 15-day trial version is available at http://www.manageengine.com/applications_manager/sql/download.html.
