Fantastic Database Analysis tool

  • October 18, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
DPA is absolutely essential for any business using SQL Servers.
It has tools that help you quickly determine the root cause of issues of what happened at a certain time as it keeps a history.
It features a great alert system as well for when something is going wrong.
We often use it to analyze over 60 production databases.
It can assist in providing possible solutions on indexes for some problematic queries.
All of the above is easy to use and quick to get.
Customer support is fantastic and their personnel has only been helpful when I needed them.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is not useful to analyze an immediate occurring problem as you have to wait a bit till the data is logged and displayed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we see delays or blocking our applications we can quickly go to DPA and see what is going on.
We can the analyse the current queries and see if there are Wait delays and their root cause, or resource utilization.

Comprehensive Monitoring with Room for Improvement

  • October 05, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SQL Sentry is a robust monitoring tool, offering in-depth insights into database performance and health. Its ability to provide real-time data and detailed analytics ensures that administrators can stay ahead of potential issues, making proactive decisions to maintain optimal database performance. The user interface is intuitive, and the range of metrics available is excellent. This tool has undoubtedly enhanced our database management capabilities, allowing for more informed decision-making.
What do you dislike about the product?
While SQL Sentry excels in monitoring capabilities, it is not without its flaws. The most noticeable drawback is the latency experienced within the application. This lag can sometimes hinder real-time troubleshooting, especially during critical moments when swift action is required. Additionally, unlike some of its competitors, SQL Sentry falls short in offering predictive space and SQL security patch monitoring features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a Database Administrator, SolarWinds SQL Sentry has been instrumental in enhancing my database management capabilities. It offers real-time insights into database performance, enabling swift identification and rectification of bottlenecks and long-running queries. The proactive alerting system is invaluable, notifying me of potential issues before they escalate, while the historical data analysis aids in recognizing patterns for long-term improvements. Additionally, the deadlock visualization feature simplifies the process of pinpointing and resolving deadlocks. Though it lacks some predictive tools, its storage usage data is crucial for capacity planning. The customizable dashboards streamline my daily tasks, ensuring our databases run efficiently and reducing disruptions, ultimately allowing me to focus on more strategic initiatives.

The best tool to monitor SQL servers

  • September 28, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SQL Sentry is truly one centralized solution where you can monitor all SQL server performance, issues, logs, and reports.
The performance metrics SQL Sentry provide is not just bar graph like the other tools display, it is calculated value that shows the true status of the SQL server.
When there is an issue to troubleshoot such as deadlock, you don't need another tool to get the plan or script to analyze, all required information is on one screen.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes, when there is a WMI issue, it stops working and doesn't get refreshed even after WMI issue is fixed.
It would be better to add refresh button on the server level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of SQL server issues can be solved in SQL sentry alone and UI and functions are designed for DBA.
You don't really need a manual to understand or use, you can easily find what you need if you think as DBA.
