AimBetter introduces a new low-cost license designed to bring powerful database monitoring capabilities to even more organizations. Supporting SQL Server and Oracle environments, this license delivers the essential functionalities of our RTPS (Real-Time Problem Solving) system at a fraction of the cost.
The new license type, called RTQL (Real Time Queries Live), is perfect for companies that need real-time visibility into database performance and health, but don’t require the full suite of advanced tools provided by RTPS.
Designed for Scale
RTQL isn’t just an affordable starting point — it’s also a scalable solution.
For organizations managing many database servers, the new license offers a smart way to optimize costs while maintaining control. You can now:
-
Apply RTPS only to critical servers that require complete diagnostics and optimization tools.
-
Use RTQL on secondary or stable servers to track health, performance, and maintenance status.
-
Leverage AimBetter’s floating license model to dynamically switch between RTQL and RTPS across servers as needed — for example, when an issue arises and a deeper investigation is required.
This flexibility ensures that your licensing adapts to your real-time needs, making AimBetter even more aligned with operational and budgetary priorities.

Use Cases for RTQL
RTQL is ideal for:
-
Companies seeking cost-effective database monitoring for multiple servers.
-
Organizations with a mix of critical and stable servers, where not every server needs deep analysis.
-
IT teams that want a real-time, in-depth understanding of database activity, including blocking sessions, open transactions, and key performance indicators
Built for Agility: Floating Licenses
With our floating license model, businesses can freely switch between RTQL and RTPS licenses on different servers as their needs evolve — whether for scheduled maintenance, responding to performance spikes, or troubleshooting an issue. This model ensures your investment is always focused where it’s needed most.
