Expensive product; although, it does have a lot of great features. Best for larger companies with bigger budgets and needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We sought this product out for monitoring database in hybrid environments, and it has worked well so far. It speeds up resolution time but has not yet paid for itself, so the benefits haven't yet outweighed the costs. Time will tell, but I'm hopeful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A cost-benefit analysis is key. Database Performance Analyzer has several features that lead to greater efficiency and better cross-team collaboration, however the upfront costs of implementation may not be worth it for smaller companies. It's a great product worth a trial period at the very least.

Best Remote Database Performance Analyzer
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer is the simple interface. We use the data base performance analyser from Solarwind to monitor all of our environments for performance problems affecting our SQL databases. This software helps us to identify real-time performance problems such as errors, long-running queries or problems that are blocking the system. There's no better tool to analyze server statistics. I like the detection and reporting of deadlock.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are not a lot of thinks I dislike about Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer, but one of them is that it has problems when you switch across domains. I would also prefer to have different dashboards for job performances, task creation and parameter tuning.
I also heared that it is way to expenive for small companies.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer is an excellent tool when you have questions about database problems. It is excellent in identifying performance problems in real time. It prevents downtime or even future downtime by detecting possible problems prior to occurrence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can recommend Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer for anybody who can afford it. I takes some time to learn but once you have it set up it will show you a lot of real time data and protection errors/ bottlenecks. Also read through the documentation before asking for help as the support is very expensive as I was told by my colleges. The documention is often good enough to solve the problem.
