Survey Online
Halogen Software announced Halogen eSurveyor 3.3 Open, online surveying software that uses SQL Server to store and retrieve survey information from consumers, corporations, and employees. A Web-based survey-management page lets you select and monitor surveys from a common list on the Internet. You can use the responses from previous questions to create new questions. The sample survey library templates let you get started quickly. The skip logic feature lets respondents see only the questions applicable to them. You can eliminate bias by using randomized options for better qualitative data. You can provide instant graphical reports by using sophisticated query options and custom formatting.
Halogen eSurveyor 3.3 Open supports SQL Server 2000 and 7.0 and Oracle. For pricing, contact Halogen Software at 613-744-2254, 866-566-7778, or http://www.halogensoftware.com.
Database Administration
Monitor Servers and Network Devices
Breakout Software released MonitorIT 4.0, a tool that lets you proactively monitor your organization's servers' and network devices' availability, response time, health, and performance. The WinServicesWatch feature can monitor Windows services that you select. When the software detects that a watched service has stopped, it automatically restarts the service, and optionally alerts you. The ServerWatch feature monitors for failures, response times, and IP services availability (i.e., SQL Server, HTTP, SMTP and POP3, DNS, FTP, and SNMP). CounterWatch lets you selectively monitor and gather detailed operation data through the performance counters, which are available for SQL Server, Microsoft IIS, and Microsoft Exchange Server.
MonitorIT 4.0 supports SQL Server 7.0 and runs on Windows 2000 and Windows NT systems. Pricing starts at $450 for a MonitorIT server and 10 server and device licenses. Contact Breakout Software at 908-561-5210 or http://www.breakoutsoft.com.
