Does SentryOne Plan Explorer work? Does SentryOne Plan Explorer work as advertised and is it legitimate? Are there any gotchas or something to be concerned about?

It looks like it shows the hot path in color commpared to SSMS's nightmare of a view for the estimated execution plan.

My concerns is - does it modify any data maliciously or otherwise?

edit: I had just heard of it and never heard of the company before.
I use it. It isn't malware.

On the SQL Server forums its one of three useful tools/SSMS plug-ins that are widely used (and thus implicitly reviewed) by the community.


SentryOne Plan Explorer
SSMS Tools Pack
Red Gate SQL Search
