They have similarities (in which they both differ from server-side scripts used for monitoring): they both make use of a HTTP service, a database and both use a web-browser for reporting. However, important differences are:

  • SQL DM for MySQL is distributed with a perpetual license and is not bundled with anything else. But other MySQL Monitoring Tools are available only as part of a larger support package with periodical license terms.SQL DM for MySQL needs no installation (of 'agents') on the server where the MySQL servers are running. Other does.
  • SQL DM for MySQL 'has everything in itself' - the webserver, the database, the MySQL client. It does not depend on the existence of other webservers, runtimes/Virtual Machines (like JAVA) and needs no separate database install. Other monitoring tools requires a full JDK (java), a TOMCAT server and a MySQL server instance for itself. Due to this simplified architecture install, configuration and first of all maintenance and upgrade is much simpler with SQL DM for MySQL. Download packages and disk storage required are much smaller with SQL DM for MySQL.
