| SQL Defrag Studio & Previous Version Visual Defrag |
"I have had immediate love for your product since I first ran across it under
a previous name of 'Visual Defrag'. I fell in love with it for one fact: it tells me when it is not worth my time to
defragment an index because there is no value in doing so.
I continue to be in love with it because it feels so easy to use, makes quick decisions for me, and comes in at an
excellent price point.
I wish you all the best for the continued success of both the product and the organization."
Bruce Sherwood, Senior Database Administrator, USA |
"I’m very pleased I purchased this product and the support behind it. Good Day and thanks again."

"Norb Technologies offers the intuitive and powerful Visual Defrag [2005] for Microsoft SQL Server 2005,
2000 and 7.0 with a flexible scheduler and detailed visual reports so you can target defragmentation where
it's needed most, a SQL administrator can get helpful reports and keep on top of database performance."
Michael Materie, Director of Product Management, USA

| "We had a potential problem with our helpdesk server as we had to wait until the weekend
to gain access to it. Visual Defrag has a built-in scheduler for SQL Server 2000 and 2005, so we set up a defrag
job for early Saturday morning.
By the time we arrived the job had already been finished after the completion of the backup, so we could concentrate
on other admin tasks.
Needless to say that the file fragmentation was reduced from 99% to 23% in under an hour and the
performance of the database was greatly increased.
From then, we scheduled a defrag job of the same database every weekend ensuring data integrity for all our customers, internal and external.
Visual Defrag 2007 shows all values of the database you are analyzing and the best part is that this will run in Windows
2008 and SQL Server 2008 without any problems. It also works with Office 2007 Excel perfectly."
Mitch Bonham, Database Administrator, UK

| "Prior to using Visual Defrag, analyzing and determining the impact of index
fragmentation on our growing number of databases and underlying tables took several hours of fairly technical
intervention. Using Visual Defrag in a very brief and non technical manner we could analyze and take corrective
actions within minutes of the product's delivery of statistics on overall database and table fragmentation."

"Rachel's products are an excellent value. She's very easy to work with.
I can't think of another person I'd rather do business with. I consider her a good friend. She is someone you can trust."
Rick Obsitnik, Database Administrator at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune for SAIC

"Rachel is a meticulous information wizard when it comes to showcasing her
products. She has excellent client and CXO skills and is a great person to work with. She is a very good friend and always there to count on.
I would definitely recommend Rachel and her company's products to anyone using SQL Server, and who are having challenges in addressing
defragmentation in their SQL Server database deployments.
And also being the Principal Editor of SQL Server Club.com, she has managed to ensure that authors are given the best exposure they
need to showcase their talents and expertise within the SQL Server Arena. I would definitely look forward to working with Rachel on future projects."

"The installation guide for SQL Server 2008 is exactly what I needed. It gave detailed screenshots and is the single reference available (obviously there is nothing at all from Microsoft) that would
show me exactly how to install this on a local machine. I am a full time student and long time IT person, but installing SQL Server in a stand alone environment can be daunting, and if you miss one
step it can be a bad and difficult installation or process to remove it.
Thanks SO very much for posting this. I have used it twice now with perfect results." - Ann

root directory to avoid installation problems. Especially when extracting the source files in the same folder the server engine does not get installed."
