Just an FYI that my latest product review for SQL Server Magazine is in the February Edition. (My February edition only just BARELY showed up in the mail...).
In this review I take a look at Quest Software's Spotlight on SQL Server 5.7. It's a decent solution that can be really beneficial for production DBAs tasked with monitoring lots of critical servers. Quest has also done a great job making the interface so intuitive that you could easily plunk the software in front of a non technical user and have them call a DBA whenever an alert or alarm went off. (The UI uses simple color coding: green = good, yellow=warning, red areas of the screen indicate components/sub-systems that need expert lovin' and attention.)
