DPA
What do you like best about the product?
The email reports are great for seeing what is going on. The console is easy to use and provides real time data. Has helped figure out lots of problem areas.
What do you dislike about the product?
Really don't have any dislikes. Some times the renewing the license requires contact with Solarwinds.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SQL queries has been the most problems we see. Also found that we needed to add resources to our servers.
DataBase Performance Analyzer
What do you like best about the product?
We really like the integration with Database performance analyzer and Perfstack Analysis. Being able to bring the data side by side with some of the other solarwinds functions is what we have been missing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could just do a complete integration with the Orion portal. Right now it feels like separate products which they kind of are under the SolarWinds name. If it was completely integrated into the SolarWind website and we didn't have to login to two it would help with the flow for our user base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really provides our Database team with a central location for visibility into their application. As well as its very easy for non DBA's. We can provide access to our DevOps team and they can help correlate events with the Databases we have in dpa.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its expensive but a great addition to your monitor toolset!!
Best database performance monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you are able to see everything involved with the databases. It is very easy to see what queries are taking the most time and you can see the exact query that is being executed. It is easy to setup and you can get monitoring going very quickly. The performance of the actual DPA application is very fast. Upgrades are very quick as well. They usually only take about 20 minutes. It supports all common DB languages. A wizard allows the adding of database instances very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product needs more integration into the Orion platform, especially for reporting. It would be nice if the alerts and reporting were setup like the Orion platform. This product was purchased by SolarWinds and does not yet have the same feel as the Orion platform. I am sure this is on the radar and will take time. I would also like to customize the charts more that are pulled from DPA, in the Orion interface. It also needs to have some sort of agentless monitoring. The cost can be significant when monitoring a lot of instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it mainly to solve problems with application performance. Often, it is the application's database that is the issue. DPA shows us that it really isn't even the the actual database, but improperly written queries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to see database performance and more than you will ever use, use this product. You wont be sorry.
MSG DB Review
What do you like best about the product?
The analytics from one-pane of glass. While that is often overstated in our industry, the DB menu and customization interfaces have truly been invaluable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial Setup is always the hardest part with any deployment. But with the kind folks at SW Support we managed to get it up and running without issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SQL resource consumption and process improvement.
We have identified the resource hogs and allocated more to them to lessen the impact on applications and end-user experience.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
SW Product lines always have something of value and always remember you don't know what you don't know. Having the right tool in place helps prevent any "gotcha" moments.
DPA to trust your database
What do you like best about the product?
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. 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.

Alerting needs to be more promising
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?
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

Easy tools and efficient
What do you like best about the product?
Interface friendly, easy customizations, emission reports, creations alerts, instalations and show where have problem in data base, do what it says. Easy for add and remove data base, i think is better do work in option of remove the daba base only monitoring, but not lost your informations, and if after the user beed see her can do.
What do you dislike about the product?
Months ago I have a problem in migrations server, when I try a new integrations with NPM. After more troubelshotter and grant help solarwinds team, all was it ok. Maybe to work in to simplify this process is better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whem a daba base server os sistem are slow we can see before of the final user, for us this is a great reasons for user DPA.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ah add another tada base for monitoring. EX: Postgre, and Dababase not SQL .
Best SQL and Azure Analyzer for the price
What do you like best about the product?
The fact it handled Azure as well as on-premise database analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it handles Azure currently, it is new and is missing some features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped show when records are locked and determine the root cause of problems we have encountered. It has show us when it is necessary to adjust the resources in Azure to help lower cost.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This works great when used with other SolarWinds products. They integrate so well and make it easy to analyze the data for various angles. It is a strong product when used alone as well.
“DPA is much easier to use and far more effective than the other tools I’ve used.”
What do you like best about the product?
Anyone can easily understand even if they are seeing Database parameters for first time like SQL queries Transaction time, Table Locks and tools from Solarwinds are much easier to operate than any other tools.
The new feature introduced in latest releases "Correlation of metrics" is most helpful and easier to find what is causing the issues. can drill down to blocked SQL Server queries to discover why the database server blocked them.Monitoring expensive queries lets you see poorly written queries, queries that take too long to respond, queries affected by CPU time, efficient queries that are delayed by slower queries.
Multi-Dimensional Performance Analysis makes me troubleshooting simple.
Gained time to focus on more important or strategic parts of my job.

SolarWinds DPA provides visibility across application requests, SQL statements, database resources,
host/OS, network, virtualization, and storage performance. DPA incorporates wait-time
analysis so the focus is not only on health, but on the speed at which the database responds to
application requests. With “slow” rapidly becoming the new “broken,” SolarWinds DPA empowers
database administrators, developers, and all IT pros to quickly pinpoint the root cause of
performance issues. It then provides valuable advice for quickly resolving the issues.
