Welcome to the SQL admin toolset blog. My name is Marcus Erickson and I am the development team lead for the SQL admin toolset. I will be using this blog to share information on the tools including product news, interesting uses and new features. I will also be posting interesting comments and questions that we receive from you, the user community. Thanks to all of you who have already provided feedback on the SQL admin toolset beta.  Many of your comments and suggestions have gone straight from my Inbox into the product so please keep the information coming.

We are currently running a public beta of the SQL admin toolset. The beta free for anyone to download and use. The current version includes 13 of the final 24 tools for you to explore. Over the next few months, we will be releasing updates with new tools as they become available and we are heads down coding to ship the final release this summer. To get your copy of the beta, visit the download page at http://www.idera.com/Products/sqladmintoolset/registration.aspx

Feedback, feedback, feedback! We want your input on the tools in the SQL admin toolset. We believe the best way to build tools that are valuable to YOU is to ask YOU what features you’d like to see and how we can improve the product to meet YOUR needs…so please, keep the feedback coming.  As a show of appreciation for your participation in our beta, we’re offering an introductory price of $195 when the product is GA later this summer….That’s a $300 savings!!  To provide feedback, go to http://www.idera.com/Products/sqladmintoolset/Feedback.aspx and let us know what you think.
