A very useful database monitoring tool which eases troubleshooting very much

  • January 04, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about DPA is it identifies the performance issue with in seconds and by focusing on wait stats identifying the root cause is very easy. We can see instantaneously if blocking was occurring at any specific time and what were the root blockers. The good thing is it gets down to minutes and even seconds of time in terms of granularity. It also allows to set up various custom alerts which is very beneficial
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing I found to be wanting in solarwinds DPA is the graphs for various metrics can capture time - value pair of only one metric. I can't capture multiple instances of a metric (for example - multiple replication distribution agents latency values ) from with in DPA
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We mainly use DPA for performance monitoring and optimization of our SQL databases. It allows benefits like blocking identification, capturing resource bottlenecks like CPU, memory etc and we set up numerous customized alerts in solarwinds DPA.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The tool is recommended because its very easy to use and rich in feature set

Excellent Product

  • January 02, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It gives you an overall insight to all databases with alerts and a real understanding what's happening. If you are constantly battling clueless issues or lack of alerts and information then this is a real game changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Load capacity is sometimes slow even though hardware requirements are met. (not a huge issues though)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of time is saved every day and even maintenance time has been reduced. Alert options and customisation really helps narrow down what problems you want to me notified of etc. Down time is often minimised or even completely eradicated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It removes a lot of stress from day to day work. Administratively its excellent to be able to find issues or errors before it causes something more serious. Additionally there is no need to be constantly checking things as the alerting and reporting helps show trends to prevent future problems.

Database Analysis at its best

  • December 31, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Various aspects of the DPA including queries that take up the most Wait Times, Deadlock conditions, compute resources consumed by the DB instance like CPU, Mem, and the best part, even Virtual infrastructure resources.

With recent additions to the NPM + DPA integration, PerfStack allows cross-module correlation helping identify issues with network or server or DB at the same time
What do you dislike about the product?
The SolarWinds DPA Reporting feature currently does not allow customization.
Standard out-of-the-box reports are not suitable for all environments.
The product should include a Report writing functionality for custom reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our DB instances run most of the business applications and DB Administrators are required to provide an optimal performance of the DB and hence the Business Apps. Insights into DB performances are thereby helping us resolve Biz App performance issues and ensuring that Biz Apps run at desired performance levels.

What do you like best about the product?
Resource correlation with database queries. time slice

VM license portion of DPA is ridiculous . We own VMAN and we need to license connectors to that same data twice so DPA can analyze its own version of the same data?
