SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer Reviews

The database team uses DPA to manage up to 50 licenses. Only 5 team members who are DBAs actively use the tool. All SQL performance problems from large PeopleSoft DBS to Cots applications (500+) are covered. Performance problems can come from all directions so this tool is extremely useful because it's a catch-all.

Discovering data performance issues. Creating an index based on the suggestions by DPA. It can be accessed by all developers to review their query or performance-related issues.

It is used in IT to monitor database performance and to assist with troubleshooting when there are performance issues with key applications. It is primarily used by our Database Administrators and has assisted in maintaining key performance metrics. It has allowed us to be proactive in our approach to performance monitoring and being able to resolve problems before they affect users.

We use this product to diagnose and maintain the good performance of SQL Servers. We find degradation or lag, and it also helps issues with queries to be addressed.

It is being used to monitor all production instances for the whole organization.

DPA is an essential part of performance monitoring our hybrid Demand Management Solution for hosted customers, and select on-premise customers. Automation is essential considering the number of customers, the schema comprising approaching 3,000 tables and over 5,000 code artifacts. Daily summaries of the last 3 days of Top SQL resource consumers give us ongoing snapshots by which to spot trends and anomalies that DPA's functionality enables us to investigate to query and table level.

DPA is being used by the IT and CIM Developers team to monitor our production databases. IT will check the system daily for any signs of issues. Both teams will check when testing or rolling out new systems to ensure the Software is operating as intended. These testing checks are done at least once a week by either department.

Used to monitor production database performance and identify areas for tuning.

Within our organisation, we use SolarWinds to monitor the most important applications. We give permissions to our customers to view their own data. DPA is saving us on logging in on servers and telling the customer to modify their application (they can see it themselves and fix it themselves). Also it gives us background information on the Virtualization layer and their isseus. It is really helpfull as a first responder to a customer with performance questions.

We use Solarwinds Database Performance Analyser across several teams in and around the IT department. It's used to pinpoint issues with databases or SQL statements, generally on production databases. While Solarwinds Database Performance Analyser won't tell you anything that a real live DBA wouldn't be able to find out, it does allow non-DBAs like myself to get an initial problem diagnosis quite quickly and suggest to the relevant teams where they should be looking to resolve the problem.

It is used for database performance monitoring. It has helped us in addressing slow queries and other resource issues.

We use it to monitor and performance-tune some of our in-house developed applications. Some of these applications are tier-one applications.

DPA is one of the support tools used by our organization, deployed on some departments where legacy system databases still exist. It empowers our operations when it comes to response time and ability to provide good reporting presentation. I've been in IT Service Delivery and Operation for 10 years, from my experience with different infrastructure and application issues, most of the pain points we've had is the application performance related problems. One of the stories I can share is that it enables us easily detect what is causing bottlenecks and as such good collaboration has emerged with our developers whether the issue lies on our databases or on their codes.

We use DPA to manage a very large and somewhat cranky SQL environment for ambulatory healthcare end users (from providers and office managers to assistants and front desk personnel). The DB schema dates to the 1990s and requires regular supervision and management at a level the system vendor doesn't provide. Addressed problems include plan management, index addition and revision, partitioning and troubleshooting poor performance.

To support performance monitoring for SQL servers across the organization.

It is being used to monitor the ERP database, providing insights on performance and long-running queries. The alerts are used to notify of high license usage and deadlock events.

DPA is used to monitor the performance of Oracle and MSQL databases. We added a highly critical system in DPA, and DPA can suggest performance enhancement based on findings over the period, like missing indexes and statistics. Also, during ad-hoc performance issues, this helps to identify the current performance, because of easy access like running a session, blocking, and querying a program that is running.

We use this product across the whole organization for multiple applications.

We run six separate DPA servers covering three different database software vendors. Coverage includes TEST Databases where developers can instantly observe metrics from their most recent changes. Production coverage, of course, is crucial to rapidly identify SQL and VM performance matters and observe changes based on the volume of transactions. This tool is the first place hundreds of developers, admins, and managers use to check app performance.

It is used by the database team to monitor and tune database performance in both SQL Server and Azure Databases.

Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer is being used to monitor for issues with our SQL Servers by our organization. We use it to provide a baseline and display opportunities for improvement. The tuning feature helps us find bottlenecks and provide index suggestions. Our software development department uses the tool to show how the code has affected database performance. The network operations department monitors the data to find areas that may need upgraded hardware or configuration changes.

Beyond day-to-day monitoring, the DPA (Database Performance Analyzer) is key to anyone who needs to look back in time to provide Trending and/or Root Cause Analysis, whether database related or not. There are suspects and culprits, and this product can help to identify them. DPA is very, very detailed, and you can zero in on an issue, all the way down to a minute timeframe if you are willing to do the cross analysis work. This product is A+ and can be used for Oracle, MySQL, and SQL Server.

We use SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer to predict the behavior of our campaigns and e-marketing.

Monitoring databases is always a critical topic for a database administrator, but SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer made is easy with real-time monitoring for DB status using query's hash, CPU time, programs, database query plans. Users, as well there other machines for correlation DB integration in multiple databases, query analyzer helps to display the historical graphs for understanding the behavior and provide reports complete for first glance understanding of abnormal or normal statuses.

It is used in the whole company for analyzing problems or performance issues on all SQL Servers which hold in-house created DBS and commercial products. It is vital for reviewing what happened during weekends or spare days. Also vital, is the development of the wait time of some servers for future sizing.
