Being a financial company we need to have split second synching between HQ and DR so AG latency monitoring is crucial
Top queries and waits because of full query details and automatic updates. Best monitoring tool.

My favourite feature is the baseline. That I can easily see how a particular metric was over, say the last week or month, is very useful. I don’t use it often but when I do want it, it is a lifesaver.
The feature that I am most thankful for and that I use most often is the Overviews screen. We have 27 production instances and being able to see them at all at a glance is wonderful. We have a big screen mounted in our office with the Overview screen displayed on it. I can use it to show PMs, people from Helpdesk whether an instance is under more load than usual this morning, I can respond reasonably quickly to a deadlock, failed job or some other event that requires my attention. I notice from the movement or colour change that something has happened.
And during home-office, it occupies my second screen.
For me the best feature is the 'Latest Alerts' side panel. It lets me know a fast overview on how the system is performing and allows a rapid (less clicks) to get to any issues.
