Best SQL and Azure Analyzer for the price

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

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.”

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

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.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no negative feedback on Solarwinds Modules except the license part.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best in the Tools

DPA to the rescue

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Capability to overlay DB performance statistics with hardware metrics KPIs
What do you dislike about the product?
It does not yet provide full integration with Orion platform, so switching between main Orion console and DPA console is required for deep troubleshooting
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slow response times for paying customers due to database wait times. Changed application designed to improve end user & customer experience
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This may not provide as deep insight into Oracle DB as more native tools, but it provides the capability of overlaying DB stats with hardware and OS stats. Same goes for SQL monitoring and our DBAs are very pleased with this tool


    Education Management

DPA really made my job of sorting through database to know the speed and health easy.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how DPA leverage all my S3 databases
What do you dislike about the product?
Sincerely there's no good software without a disadvantage. But I have not seen anything you should improove on except the pricing. That might be because of the country I'm in.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's very tasky to statcally connect to every database everytime I want to manage, DPA helps in managing all of my databases simultaneously.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
it is the best solution for anyone with dificulty in managing database expecially those just learning.

Database Performance Analyzer review

  • December 26, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The software is easy to upgrade and administer.

SolarWinds provides good support.

The main dashboard shows which database instances are experiencing the greatest wait times. It also shows those with the greatest upward wait times. There is a status summary with counts that are color coded for quickly finding issues. Below that, is a listing of all the instances with a color coded status across multiple categories. From there, you can start drilling down into specific instances and see top SQL statements, Waits, Programs, Users, etc. It is very easy to see trends or if it was just an abnormality. You can see across days or drill down into specific hours. It also provides advisors and quick resources (e.g. wait descriptions).
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost for licensing Oracle RAC instances is expensive. Each instance costs $3,495 at list price which adds up quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When new queries are introduced into the environment and are detrimental, we quickly see when it started and the frequency that it occurs.

We also use this to quickly focus on the top queries causing issues instead of isolated incidents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Should be at the top of your list.

Excellent insight into what your Databases are really doing

  • December 26, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The simple, yet very powerful interface makes DPA (Database Performance Analyzer) a product that is easy to implement and use. The power of the product gives insight that would otherwise only be available through hours of trial and error testing and processing. SQl can be complex to diagnose, but with DPA that time and effort is greatly reduced.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the product is very complete it can't make users actually pay attention. Our DBAs have access, but don't rely on the product as much as they should. But then this is a shortcoming of pretty much anything.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had some slow performing SQL databases and DPA helped us identify underlying issues that couldn't be solved just be adding more CPU or memory
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Download the free trial and you'll find it easy to install configure and use.

Database administration and performance troubleshooter

  • December 26, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Quick visual of performance bottlenecks and the drill down within every screen is a great feature in trying to get to the bottom of fixing an error troubleshooting query performance.
What do you dislike about the product?
If we can get more tips on database related messages as it seems the recommendations are sometimes very general in nature
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DPA has helped me get to the bottom of a long standing performance issue with a client ERP on SQL server and we have now stabilized the performance. DPA showed me where and which time the major bottlenecks where coming from. Now we can move to tuning the queries with DPA.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DPA is easy to install and very lightweight so no worries on the analyzed database or instance taking a performance hit.
