The DBTA Readers’ Choice Awards Results Are In!

 The Database Trends and Applications (DBTA) magazine, a magazine covering data and information management, big data, and data science, have unveiled their 2018 Readers’ Choice Awardswinners.

Quest Software’s Information Management Business was named WINNER in 3 solution categories and Finalists in 2 categories.

You need database management tools that simplify today’s always-on world. A recent DBTA survey revealed that 68 percent of DBAs manage between 11 and 500 database instances. At the same time, more organizations are turning to cloud based databases and 63 percent of DBAs expect to move to the cloud within three to five years. Multiple platform support, cloud technologies and DevOps—all trends that require you to be on top of more tasks and more processes. What if you could not only survive these constant IT changes, but evolve and thrive? What if you could monitor, manage, diagnose, migrate and replicate your database environments with improved accuracy and efficiency? With Toad for Oracle Developer Edition, Foglight for Databases, and SharePlex you can change how you approach your database challenges and thrive.
