Statistics are great, but sometimes you just want to assess the situation at a glance. You don't want to spend time performing calculations to figure out that you're about to run out of space. Also, the visual presentation of result sets has made Gilbert's life much easier. When you run a query from ISQL, the results just scroll off the screen. With DBArtisan, I get a nice spreadsheet that I can format, print and give to users, as is.
Migration is always an issue for DBAs, especially in a global organization.
With employees and applications worldwide, data migration and management is more than just a local concern. I really like the fact that I can connect to all my servers and move objects between them easily. I can copy tables from one server to another without writing a line of code. Create a table once and you never have to create that table again. DBArtisan's schema extraction feature ensures that every database object can be documented and recreated any time.
