With GDPR looming my company has agreed that we need some auditing software to record access to data etc. I'm currently reviewing a couple of products to audit our SQL Servers. they are:
Idera's Compliance Manager
Apex SQL Audit
Was wondering if anyone has experience with either of them?
My main concern will be performance on our live systems.

I used Compliance Manager before. It didn't have much of an impact on performance. That was our biggest concern as they were for pretty active databases. They let us run it for free longer than usual just so we could keep monitoring that.
Auditors loved it, the canned reports were great and it is probably the easiest one to configure - or used to be anyway.

Thanks for the take on that, Sue. We may have such a thing coming up and a recommendation from someone like yourself will carry a bit more weight than mine alone... especially since I've not used such a product before.
Thanks but I'm fairly petite so there isn't much weight there 🙂
But it does take care of a bunch of audit work with the canned reports. Give them reports and tell them to go away. Far away.
