SolarWinds SQL Sentry - Knowledge is Power
What do you like best about the product?
- Clear easy to navigate GUI
- Quick to gain insights for the internals of SQL or your OS
- Love the Top SQL view and ability to drill down
- Out of the box reports but can also create your own by querying the underlying captured data
- Great product support and support teams (good engagement)
- And the holy grail of why we use such a tool...Historical views. We can go back to when an issue was occuring to see what was happening in the system. A real lifesaver and the original reason for purchasing the product some 8 years ago.
-Also has a web client that makes easy to give non-administrators access to handy features

There is not a lot we don't like but certainly we always have issues with deploying updates, it never seems to go smoothly. But support do assist quickly and they do listen to feedback and are working on improvements in this area.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SQL Sentry allows us to have a historical picture of the performance of our Database estate. It allows us to deep dive into performance issues quickly bith when they are happening or if we need to retrospectively look at something that happened overnight or the previous date or previous month even.
We can baseline to see when our server is veering from the norm. We can empower application owners to have better insight with what is happening when code changes are deployed.
It saves a lot of time when investigating performance issues. But it is also good at alerting, with the ability to set out of the box alerts or custom ranges of alerts.

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.

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.
