DPA solarwinds module

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The depth of the platform exceeds the current platform we are now using. With blocking, wait times, etc. detailed, the tool proves useful.I also like the prospect of integration with other solarwinds modules. PerfStack integration with DPA in demos appeared to be extremely useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price point is still proving to be too prohibitive for inclusion in our monitoring stack. I believe it was available at one time on AWS at a per GB use price point that showed promise for usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a trial demo, we proved that we could find troubling issues in our SQL stack.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can get past the price point, all my DBA were stating that they would have loved to have this product over what we are currently using.

DPA the discussion killer

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The view of the whole stack from the Database to the disk. This helps a lot to find bottlenecks. Also the Wait- and Blocking-Views are very helpful in finding problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The report engine of the DPA should be like the Orion report engine. The AD user and group administration could be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We searching for slow running SQL-Queries and try to find solutions for that. We also use DPA if we face suddenly performance problems.

Window to my SQL server

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
You can easily find the most expensive queries. we have found that DBA's and developers a like both like that application, I work in support so i can also see how the server is performing and then contact the DBA or Deve guys to say ... hay... look at what your latest software patch is doing to the DB. one of my favorite things is that you can pull data from Database Performance Analyzer into some of solarwinds other software like into Software Application module.
What do you dislike about the product?
SSAS .. when are we going to be able to monitor that? I'm sorry to say that the Price is the thing that is the thing I dislike the most. The amount of time i have to say well another license will cost £X that is when they normal leave my desk very quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developers can see the performance on the database with out having direct access to the database.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We love the application and so do the developers, DBA and people like myself, people in application support we all use it, we have found it a bit expensive. The layout is great easy to navigate, we have just started use the alerts and the reporting features which seems to be working well. We also use Solarwinds Software Application Module which you have cnn link the two softwares together so you can have data and information that Database performance analyser gathers pulled into the software application modules dashboards.

Database Performance Analyzer - Keep your DB in safe hands

  • December 21, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Drill down into your SQL Server database to pinpoint the root cause of poor performance.

When a SQL Server database instance includes Availability Groups (AGs), the DPA homepage provides the following information:

The AG status icon AG_status_icons.png identifies database instances that include AGs. The color of the dot indicates the AG status.
An AG status summary box shows the number of database instances with partially healthy or unhealthy AGs. As with other status summary boxes, click the filter next to a status to display only those instances.

When you drill in to a database instance that includes AGs, click the AG Status tab to see the status of AGs, databases, and replicas, including synchronization and failover status information.
What do you dislike about the product?
wrong parsed query in mysql slave
Alerting needs to be more crisp
Custom Report for Resources for a Program in DPA
Automatic exporting for DPA logs should be added into newer versions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently all of our DB's are under DPA monitoring.
Its ease of use makes itself more prompt than the other tools.
The application is mostly used for the AWS environments.
Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.5) is not supported with DPA 10.2.579
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The UI and ease of use is better with SolarWinds DPA
