SentryOne releases premium version of SQL Sentry monitoring solution
With this release, the company has consolidated the functionality of many of its other database monitoring tools, such as BI Sentry, DB Sentry, Win Sentry, and V Sentry. This consolidation will make it easier for customers to gain visibility into their entire data stack.
“Although we will retain the perpetual license option of our existing SentryOne monitoring products for longtime customers who need that, we’re hearing from more customers and prospects that they prefer subscription licensing for technology purchases,” said Douglas McDowell, chief strategy officer at SentryOne. “By introducing SQL Sentry Premium, we’re providing technology that we can extend with SaaS capabilities and update on a continuous basis, informed by feedback from our customers. And for some companies, subscription licensing is a better fit for the budget process, as opposed to multi-year contracts.”
