Designed especially for database administrators, EMS SQL Administrator for SQL Server is a comprehensive piece of software that aims to provide you with a complete set of tools for managing multiple SQL servers.

To sum up, the utility allows you to monitor the most important indicators for your SQL servers like performance schedule, frequency of last execution results and possible failures.

In other words, this app does not actually help you manage SQL databases, but rather servers and the whole administrative process that keeps them running.

When launching the utility, you are met by a welcoming Start Page that offers you an overview of the app's features. Of course, you can access these features using the tool's menu bar and all-encompassing toolbar, but the Start Page offers you a more friendly and easier alternative.

You can choose from tools such as server and database explorer, alarm summary, statistics collectors and several useful wizards that help you attach, detach, backup, restore, check, rebuild and shrink databases.

As far as SQL-related management tools go, working with this app is not at all difficult. The interface is streamlined and quite intuitive, but it must be pointed out that larger buttons on the toolbar would be more beneficial for most users out there.

As expected, the explorer functions enable you to manage servers, tasks, permissions and databases. By relying on the program's other advanced features, you can get an accurate view over possible malfunctions and potential problems, as well as collect statistics about the SQL server's performance figures.

You can also check the server health, forecast disk space exhaustion, analyze how space is used on your drives, execute SQL queries and scripts, and print almost everything from the program. In addition, you are provided with the option to compare statistics over specific time periods to ensure normal functioning.

With a simple workflow and advanced features for SQL server monitoring, security, storing, health management, as well as performance tuning, there is no denying EMS SQL Administrator for SQL Server's usefulness.
