DPA Helps Us Provide Managed Database Services

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to deploy and manage DPA. I also think that SolarWinds provides both fantastic support and has a great community behind their products with Thwack. I also love that it integrates with the Orion suite of products which we also use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a complicated tool to use if you are not a DBA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a service provider and DPA has helped us provide a better managed database service. We have also received very good client feedback regarding the product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take advantage of the trial to compare this product against others.

There is really nothing that I dislike so far about the DPA.

We use Solarwinds DPA to track performance issues in our environment. It has been a great tool so far.

Great insight to real time stats

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The most beneficial aspect for me was the storage stats. Having a real time chart to read reads, writes and latency allows us to have a more proactive approach to response times.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't too much to dislike however adding more administrative control functions would expand on the product's functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visually seeing trends in peak performance utilization has allowed for more scalable maintenance plans.

The product does everything as advertised and more.

It's not 100% integrated into Orion yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proof that SQL Express is not usable for production systems

Been using Solarwinds DPA module for 3 years

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the detailed information you are able to pull regarding the databases, their servers and the whole virtual environment. When syncing with NPM, it helps complete that "single pane of glass" view of your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, there is nothing I would say I "dislike" about this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to see where our problem/latency spots are with our collection of Solarwinds products we have applied to the environment.

Solarwinds DPA

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the integration with the existing Orion platform, as we also use Network Performance Monitor and Network Configuration Management. Agentless architecture. Gives direct insight on database performance, showing top queries, wait times, identifying database problems in real time. We currently only use SQL Server, but as our company grows, it's nice to know that there's cross-vendor support all from this one interface, in case we acquire an office that uses Oracle or MySQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more input on solutions to the detected problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting our SQL servers to run more efficiently. As a relatively inexperienced DBA, DPA has helped me more easily identify sources of problematic performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Database Performance Analyzer is an absolute must for all DBAs, especially in the small to medium business world since we're often multitasking different roles beyond database administration.
