Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SentryOne in our production (over 120 Instance worldwide and growing). It gives us an easy way to navigate the dashboard to quickly identify a performance problem and the ability to drill into the issue quickly and come up with a game plan to address the performance problem.

Pros and Cons

Alerting is very flexible and configurable to our needs
Linking alerting into third party alerting tools via PowerShell was easy
Collecting and rolling up SQL statements make it much easier to troubleshoot performance problems
Drilling into PLE and what’s happening when it drops out
Ease of drilling into time-frame to figure out what was the issue at that time
Being able to query the SentryOne database for management reports is awesome (Deadlocks and Blocking)

Navigation could be improved. It can be hard to follow if you are new to the tool
Calendar of events could use some work. Display can be confusing at times

Likelihood to Recommend

It’s great for a DBA to have a tool like SentryOne. To be able to troubleshoot our production environment and come up with a root cause to a performance issue in very little time is awesome. Being able to drill into an instance and see what happened yesterday when a user walks up to our desk and tells us the instance was slow yesterday and they want to know what was going on.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

One time we deployed a new feature to our product, and it was causing over 88,000 plus long running queries over 2 seconds (in a one-day period) and we found the root cause to the issue in minutes. It turns out it was a missing indexing. So, to have a tool like SentryOne to help us identify this issue was great, and resolving the client’s issue within minutes of the performance problem was amazing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SQL Sentry is being used to monitor SQL Server performance across our entire organization, providing trending, alerting, and helping us solve the "death by a thousand cuts" types of issues that are more of a challenge to pinpoint.

Pros and Cons

SQL Agent Jobs runtime trending and alerting - out of the box alerts runtime deviations send alerts.
Ad hoc trending against a previous week, day, or sampling period - pretty colors with ranges and averages to share with others.
Reporting against multiple counters - this is available to compare time periods as well.

I'd like to see a "Response Time" - measuring/tracking 'Select 1' out of the box instead of having to add a custom counter.
There is so much functionality in the product that we need additional training to more fully utilize it. For many DBAs this type granularity is preferred over simplicity - I'd rather have more options than too few in a monitoring product.

Likelihood to Recommend

SQL Sentry is more suited to managing SQL Server performance issues in an enterprise environment. If you are a small shop it may not be the best fit due to cost.

We were testing it as a possible replacement for the current monitoring tool but unfortunately some members of the team were too stuck on their old monitoring tool.

Pros and Cons

It allowed me to drill into the memory being used by the different NUMA nodes very easily, the old tool did not.
The default view shows Memory Grants Pending and that's an extremely useful item of information, better than PLE in my opinion.
It's very easy to customize the alerts and create custom ones.

I would like to see a better default screen that shows the high-level status of all monitored instances in a single view. What is there isn't good enough as the color coding can be hard to see.

It doesn't work well in highly compartmentalized environments, as in, firewall issues can be hard to work through.

As stated earlier, it showed us that the multiple SQL Server instances on NUMA architecture weren't using all available memory so we affinitized the processors and the instances were able to use all the memory on the machine and performance was improved.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we use SQL Sentry to monitor database performance and debug issues as they arise. I open up the dashboard for our production environment at the start of each day. We also use it to run our complicated weekly job that spans four servers. This job calls one server and then calls back to the originating server.

Pros and Cons

The unique offering is the graphical chaining of jobs. This is especially important when the job chain spans servers.
The graphs in the dashboard gives easy to follow and quick information as to the status of the database system.
The timeline of the job execution has been handy when seeing how long a job has executed or when a scheduled job could cause conflicts.

I wish there was a better way to determine what queries are running at a given time. This could be a resource problem, but I found myself going to profiler a lot.
Configuration of alerts is not intuitive. I want to create an alert for low disk space, but the interface was too obtuse.
Navigation is also not intuitive. You have to fumble around the tree structure to get to things like the job timeline.

Likelihood to Recommend

SQL Sentry is good for overall monitoring and job configuration. There are capabilities for deep-dive troubleshooting. However, it is highly recommended to get training. Be prepared for a steep learning curve on how to get the system configured the way you want it. But, it is worth it. Do not expect this to be an all in one solution. This will not take care of backups.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We were seeing regular spikes in CPU on our production environment. SQL Sentry identified these are coming from a Java process. The queries looked like a report without any criteria set. By sending the graphs and the sources of the queries, our report writers found that a test report was running against our production environment.

We use Performance Advisor to monitor our database servers. We use this tool within the IT department to pinpoint pressure points, search for expensive queries, and for capacity planning of our databases. From a business perspective, this tool helps us to address performance problems introduced by new code and plan for new infrastructure.

Pros and Cons

Easy to setup in a Microsoft shop that depends on Active Directory
Alerting cover a range of issues
Detailed trace information can be retrieved and stored on demand
Records blocking and deadlock events
Records disk contention over time
Records disk utilization over time

The disk utilization overview does not seem to accurately display volumes created using a software RAID
It is difficult to determine what isolation level was used for a query.
The deadlock and blocking queries tab does not record transaction isolation level either. This would help since knowing the transaction isolation level for a query would help us choose a more appropriate isolation level for the blocking transactions.

Likelihood to Recommend

Performance Advisor is specifically designed for MSSQL database servers located within a Microsoft domain. I can not vouch for the product in monitoring Oracle databases or environments where a non-Microsoft domain is used, or no domain is used at all.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We have a problem with our version of SQL Server where parameters declared as unicode (nvarchar) that are used to compare against columns that are of type Latin1 will have the database engine choose to cast the entire column to unicode instead of downgrading the parameter to a Latin1 type column.

Verified User

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company provides web site hosting. We use SQL Sentry Performance Advisor to monitor the production SQL Server instances supporting our hosting environment. Our hosting SQL Servers support between 10-40 different application databases. The primary driver for the workload on our application databases is the amount of traffic our hosted web sites receive. At any given time the traffic can be spiking on a specific hosted web site which will cause its corresponding database to spike and cause issues for the entire SQL Server.

Pros and Cons

Monitor many internal SQL Server metrics that can help provide early warning about potential issues.
Graphing of all metrics over configurable time frames with a comparable baseline for the same time frame. The baseline feature is really helpful for understanding how metrics have changed against what is "normal". The baseline is configurable so you can use yesterday, or the same day last week, or a statistically generated baseline. The workload on our application databases varies greatly between business hours and non-business hours so the baseline feature comparing to same day of the week from the previous week is helpful.
Top consuming queries - SQL Sentry captures the top consuming queries. This helps to identify which database and which function within a database is consuming the most CPU or Disk i/o.
Query Plans - when SQL Sentry captures a top consuming query - it captures its associated Query Plan. This is very helpful for figuring out why a query is consuming so many resources.

SQL Sentry is a stand alone solution. There is no direct correlation between SQL Sentry events and application exception events or web server events. All correlation has to be done manually. This isn't really a problem directly with SQL Sentry - but is more the nature of using a stand alone solution like SQL Sentry.
Using SQL Sentry for reporting can be slow. SQL Sentry is gathering a lot of data. All of that data is written into a SQL database. Reporting pulls from the same SQL Database. If pulling data for a long time range the resulting report can take a long time to load.
Data Aggregation over time - When you run a report on a specific time range you have very detailed data available. When you run a report over a longer time range the data is aggregated together and specific anomalies get watered down. For example if you run a report over a 10 minute period you will see data at ~1 sec granularity. This makes it really clear where there was a spike in activity. If you run a report over a 24 hour period you will only see general trends. The data is at about 5 min granularity. So there may be a time period where you see a slight rise. You have to zoom in on that specific time frame to see more granular data. As a pro - SQL Sentry makes the process of zooming in and out on different time ranges very easy.

Likelihood to Recommend

SQL Sentry is a cost effective tool for monitoring mission critical database servers where you don't have a team of deeply experienced DBAs. It effectively allows you to buy DBA trouble shooting skills. You still need to have engineers with a good understanding of SQL Server - but SQL Sentry provides them with the tools to be able to trouble shoot SQL Performance problems.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We had an application database that would occasionally spike to 100% CPU. SQL Sentry helped us identify which database was consuming the CPU. That was pretty straightfoward. What was not straightforward was figuring out why the database was consuming 100% CPU. Every indicator we could see on the surface was that the workload had remained consistent. The volume of requests and type of requests going to the web application were consistent. The volume of SQL transactions was consistent. Where SQL Sentry provided it's worth was in Top Queries. It showed us that one specific query was consuming all of the CPU. When we looked at the execution plan that was captured by SQL Sentry we could see that a sub-optimal plan had been cached. We were then able to flush the cached plan and a new more optimal plan was cached. This returned the database CPU consumption to normal. We then worked through updating the SPROC so that a sub-optimal plan would not be cached. SQL Sentry Top Queries and execution plan capture were critical to handling this incident.

SQL Sentry was purchased to monitor our new Business Intelligence Infrastructure. The tool allows us to see at a glance if we have any performance issues; we also utilise the alerting feature heavily to make sure that even when we are not in the office or connected we can still see how the server is performing.

Pros and Cons

Alerting features are a must, it takes a little while to tune them to your system but once you have them, they will save you and your team countless hours of recovery / server maintenance as you can stop the issue before it even becomes one.
Performance Manager is great to understand not only how your server is performing now but also any time in the past. We utilise this to drill into any unusual activity with ease due to the UI being so intuitive and self explanatory. Again a massive time saver
The cloud based reporting is very useful for a quick health check when you are not near your laptop.

The event manager can really cluttered when using it on a business intelligence server with jobs running throughout the day. It would be great to see this in a different visualisation that could really help you spot the key hot spots, possibly create an impact metric that displays the jobs size depending on how much resource the job took to complete.

Likelihood to Recommend

SQL Sentry hits the spot when using it for a business intelligence server.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We had a long running query that locked a lot of the schema out of hours, with SQL Sentry not only could I identify what was blocking everything else but also view the specific part of the code and it's execution plan, look at what else was running at the time and then tune the SQL as well as reschedule some activity.

SQL Sentry Performance Advisor has been used as a primary monitoring tool for our production environment, it has helped us a lot with troubleshooting bottlenecks, finding performance problems, resolving blocking etc. We're using this tool across the whole organization and monitoring around fifteen large production SQL Servers.

Pros and Cons

I can see global view of all my monitored servers on single screen with CPU, Memory, Disk & network usages based on last sample or even historical for upto 3 days. Also if there is an area of concerns Performance Advisor will highlighted that server with red or orange depending upon the condition or level of concerns.
Blocking and deadlock situations are clearly visible which gives insight to resolve conflicts.
Disk Activity section provides clear visibility of each and every data files (.MDF, .LDF & .NDF) with the level of activity (Read & Write operations) which is very helpful for us for our OLTP environment to monitor and keep a watch on response from storage system.
Alert system is good.

I believe SQL Sentry has good alert mechanism but still I see a room for improvement, for example recently we tried to change subject line of specific type of alerts (for example server offline, or high CPU utilization etc.) to make it more meaningful for our organization and we had hard time doing this.
Reports need some improvement, reports are good but I believe few summary report need to be added which reflects overall performance of the environment. For example downtime report is available which serves the purpose of availability but having similar reports to reflect high level performance reporting would be helpful.
In the global view under the disk section ms/IO shows the values based on the sample and changes the color from depending upon threshold which is a good feature. Also, upon right click it allows to generate quick report which again shows time & value for ms/IO. So, it would be a great feature if SQL Sentry can add a functionality to show which particular LUN(s) is responding slowly.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe it is a great monitoring tool for highly transaction environments.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We had performance issue with one of the drive which was housing files for tempDB of one of our critical SQL Server and we always had performance issues with that server. After the implementation of SQL Sentry Performance Advisor, we were able to identify that problematic disk and resolve that issue. This is one of the best example I would like to share here.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SQL Sentry to monitor our production database servers. We use it mainly for performance tuning for our environments. We also use it to analyse expensive queries, blockages, deadlock and so on. Then from the analysis, we apply optimizations accordingly.

Pros and Cons

It captures all relevant information about captured queries, from physical metrics to row counts. It packs all the information we need to analyse our database performance.
It provides a great graphic user's interface to have quick understanding of what is going in the environment, and gives facility to check historical values for the metric in question.

It could be improved on the way how the SQL Sentry database is managed, for example archiving old data, and also could have SQL agent jobs to do regular maintenance jobs to make it perform better.
Also it might be an good idea to have a web interface.
It would be good to be able to configure what kinds of queries to capture in each server instance.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think SQL Sentry is typically useful for us to understand an environment with performance issues. With this product onboard, we are able to continuously improve our system to give our users the best experience.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We had a lot of situations where SQL Sentry came to rescue us. One of these situations was when we had a query running slow some times, and the majority of the it worked fast. SQL Sentry caught the execution statement and execution plan for us. After analysing the execution plan and parameter values, we found that the cached plan was not optimsed for a certain parameter values set. With this info, we deployed a plan guide to recompile this query, and then now it runs fast all the time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use SQL Sentry Performance Advisor for real time monitoring of our production systems. It has been extremely useful at providing an at-a-glance summary of current and historical activity. Additionally, the report feature has been invaluable to us for monitoring metrics over time. Performance Advisor has been instrumental in identifying non-SQL related waits that are impacting SQL performance.

Pros and Cons

Dashboard tick
Reports
Blocking and Deadlocks

Make interface less complex
Use simple terminology for menu items

Likelihood to Recommend

SQL Sentry Performance Advisor is well suited for evaluating waits and helps our organization make decisions on scheduling and helps with tuning poorly performing jobs and queries.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

Performance Advisor's blocking SQL feature allowed us to track down an issue with a queue service that was causing problems. This saved an entire team several hours worth of manual ground work to determine the issue.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SQL Sentry Performance Advisor is being used to identify and optimize user created stored procedures, views and functions that perform inefficiently so they can be optimized to run at peak efficiency. It is used to alert the IT and operations staff of events that are causing the SQL server instance to become unstable and go offline or restart.

Pros and Cons

Monitors long running queries and alerts on them.
Provides context for the poorly performing query such as the user running the query, start and end times, number of reads and writes the query or queries has performed.
Reporting on SQL server top poorly performing queries and provides context to be able to determine why the queries are having such poor performance.

Provide an interface to perform ad-hoc queries of the data in the SQL Sentry database or a way to export the data for more detailed analysis.
More detail in the online and local help. More examples that address 'real world' issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

Monitoring real time Windows server health metrics and SQL server metrics presented in a graphical interface that makes issues imminently apparent is where SQL Sentry Performance advisor excels. It allows a very quick response to current server conditions (both Windows and SQL server) when issues occur. Disk space analysis is less helpful, especially with virtual servers.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

Many rows from tables used to import data where being inserted, updated or deleted causing the indexes and statistics on the tables to go out of date more quickly than was realized. I already had a stored procedure that identified and rebuilt or reorganized indexes and recomputed statistics in a batch mode, but on the fly I was able to determine the issue, modify the existing stored procedure to run in a 'real time' fashion on specific tables and was able to almost immediately address the issue and had created another tool in my arsenal to keep the SQL instances I was responsible for running at peak efficiency.

Vetted Review

Verified User

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use SQL Sentry Performance Advisor at as many of my clients as possible because it's the most actionable SQL Server monitoring tool on the planet. I have it monitoring all sorts of client databases and infrastructures.It's power comes in how I can quickly see an overview of a server and determine the right direction to go when performance troubleshooting.

Pros and Cons

Actionable - Lots of other utilities provide 'pretty' dashboards that do not provide much meaning. PA gives you a dashboard that presents vital performance statistics, and anything unusual jump out at you and help you refine how you approach that server.
Reporting - The built-in reporting provide much better depth in performance trending than others.
Performance reviews - The dashboard provides all of the necessary items needed to properly and efficiently review a system for any new issues.
Virtualization metric overlay - The utility now provides a great overview of the virtualization host-level performance metrics and how it impacts the VM's performance.

The UI is not the most intuitive at first and presents a learning curve to overcome, but once you know the interface these challenges go away.
The server running PA can get very busy when monitoring large quantities of servers (100+) but this is a matter of architecture with the deployment of the tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

I encourage the use of PA for any SQL Server at my clients that I consider of any importance to the business at all. This is the only performance monitoring tool that I recommend for SQL Server. Period. This utility is second to none in terms of the actionable nature of the product, and it's one that DBAs all over can leverage to improve the performance of their servers.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We had a report of extremely slow SQL Server performance on a production server. The infrastructure and development teams were blaming the database layer and would not listen until we came up with a report. The quick dashboard and reporting showed us that the disk latency was extremely high, especially compared with the historical trends. We actually came up with a date and time when the latency started (Friday night at 11:45pm) and took this information to the infrastructure team. Turns out that they had a disk fail and a RAID array was rebuilding a hot-spare drive and they never received the alert because of a misconfigured SMTP server in the SAN.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are currently in the evaluation stage of purchasing SQL Sentry Performance Advisor but in my previous role and as a Technology Consultant I've been responsible for installing, configuring, and using SQL Sentry Performance Advisor at multiple companies to the tune of 150+ seats. I'd advocated for years to size up our install base from 15 seats to over 120 at my last company and eventually succeeded in funding with management please over the results.

There, as well as in other companies I consulted for, I used SQL Sentry Performance Advisor to not only identify issues arising on our SQL servers but most importantly to be able to drill into find out the specific commands that are (and were) causing the pain while we all slept at night. There is nothing more important in troubleshooting performance than knowing the specific commands that underlay points in time when performance degrades. The tool is complex in the data available to the end user but simple enough to set up out of the box and the reports it provides to users across all tiers of management has saved many phone calls and stressful conversations.

Pros and Cons

Identifying statements causing performance issues: I've never seen any other tool work as good, or provide as much information, as their "Top SQL" tab in SQL Sentry Performance Advisor and I'm quite familiar with all the major players in the SQL Server tools space. You're able to drill into the statements in each of these commands and display (graphically or tabular) what the associated execution plan looked at as well as the IO/Memory/CPU cost for those statements.
The Dashboard view give you all you need to see in one shot at the SQL Server instance level: CPU, Memory, IO, Network load... it's all there. Then there is the Default Site overview of all alerts, exceeded thresholds, and current status of these same data points for all monitored instances you can see with a single glance.
Integration with their one-of-a-kind Plan Explorer product: Plan Explorer blows away anything else out there - and there is not much outside of the Microsoft-supplied tools - for graphical query plan analysis.

There is a great deal of metadata collected and provided to the end user client tool. I've seen issues with responsiveness inside a VPN as a result. This may be an issue with the VPNs itself but I've seen this with at least 50% of the VPNs I've used their tools through.
Unless you have a DBA on staff, configuration may be a bit difficult as there are a large number of settings to dial in. That being said I've never heard of anyone not getting assistance quickly in regards to customer support and I know from experience for certain sized installs and larger they'll even come on site for training and configuration assistance (either in person or remote.)

Likelihood to Recommend

Let's get this straight: when it comes to performance analysis tools for SQL Server this is the only product I'd recommend. I've yet to see an scenario where SQL Sentry Performance Advisor was not appropriate. I've monitored physical and virtual servers, large and tiny instance. No issues across the board.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

We had a situation with an internal development team that was laying blame on a performance issue with configuration of the SQL Server instance and were asking for an additional allocation of 64GB of RAM and 8 vCPUs to the VM. We were able to show in less than 5 minutes that the issue with performance instead lay with their internally-developed code running against a sub-standard third-party tool's database. We then were able to tune the query and take CPU consumption from 90%+ down to 40% at the peak.

TSAP ConsultingInformation Technology and Services, 1-10 employees

Score 7 out of 10

Vetted Review

Verified User

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it with certain clients who are not technically experienced with deep understanding of issues that may impact SQL performance - specifically when it comes to the performance monitoring of software we have installed with them. Usually it helps us identify where bottlenecks are impacting performance so that the client may reconfigure issues in their network/resource allocation.

Pros and Cons

Easy to interpret interface.
Allows for performance bottlenecks to be quickly identified.
Low footprint.
Brings important parameters and variables together on one screen which is helpful.

To get SQL Sentry to work properly one needs a reasonable understanding of Microsoft tokens and counters. Including something to hand hold and guide inexperienced users for a typical set up would be good.
A more accessible guide to tokens and counters and what they mean (smart help manual) - would be useful.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited to bottleneck identification - could be a little more helpful for network related problems.

Would it be possible to provide some way to point at remote servers with appropriate corporate hand shaking? We install our software with several clients, and it would be good if we could get through an approval process to point at their environment for intermittent ad-hoc problem solving issues. Continuous monitoring would not be needed, but monitoring whilst doing some observed tests - e.g. running specific sprocs on a specific dataset [would be good].

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

SQL Sentry was able to exclude performance related issues as being related to SQL sprocs and or DB design. This then helped us look elsewhere and we soon identified the issue to be related to disk performance. The value of the problem exclusion capabilities for potential SQL bottlenecks should not be underestimated.

It is being used across the whole organization. It is being used to troubleshoot performance issues and to determine current pressure points. By knowing the pressure points, resources can be allocated appropriately.

Pros and Cons

The performance dashboard presentation gives a quick overview of the health of the SQL Instance.
Sentry products also include the Server OS performance metrics.
The problematic SQL code 'jumps' out when zooming in on a dashboard.

It seems to show only 3 weeks of data. Perhaps I'm not quite familiar YET with all the features.
Having it as an APP on the iPhone would be nice.

Likelihood to Recommend

It tells you immediately where the pressure points are.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

High CPU waits led to the SQL statement that was problematic. Opening up the SQL statement in plan explorer showed signs of outdated statistics. A SQL script was developed to scan for tables/indexes that needed statists updates. After performing the statistics update, performance improved dramatically.

Our DBA team uses SQL Sentry to monitor and troubleshoot all of our production SQL Server instances. This includes alerting on long running queries, when performance thresholds are met and exceeded, and the monitoring of SQL Agent Jobs.

Pros and Cons

Monitoring.
Troubleshooting.
Alerting.

Windows Monitoring.
Allowing non-power users to utilize the tool for query analysis, without having the ability to kill queries.
Alerting configuration.

Likelihood to Recommend

Disk space alerting. We are forced to leverage SCOM, which is clunky at best. If SQL Sentry could provide us with those types of alerting and monitoring it would satisfy all of our SQL Server needs.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

One of our order taking systems relies on convoluted foreign key relationships developed by an outside contractor. SQL Sentry has allowed us to pinpoint when these relationships cause deadlocking during and after deployments, and provide that information to the software development team for review and analysis.

SQL Sentry Performance Advisor is being used for monitoring production and staging SQL Servers. The main tabs used are Top SQL, Blocking, and Deadlocks. Fragmentation Manager is primary used to monitor fragmentation percentage. We do not use it at this time to actually defrag the indexes. Plan Explorer is my primary tool for query plan review and optimization.

Pros and Cons

Quickly drill down from Top SQL to query plan and dashboard to evaluate performance and bottlenecks.
Demonstrated for me that several of the SQL Servers were over allocated in resources. I used it to tune the right amount of cores and memory.
Alerts, alerts, and more alerts. A level of notification and communication I would not have without the tool.

It has a lot functionality, the learning curve is pretty large. I would like to see more videos with more detail.

We utilize Performance Advisor to gather performance metrics and to monitor SQL Server thresholds. It is a quick way to access bottlenecks when issues are raised. We then drill down into the suspected areas and find the root cause.

Pros and Cons

Gather and report on metrics
Amazing breadth of information
Customizable

I recommend SQL Sentry for critical SQL Servers and not all. This will control costs and maximize value. However, I would recommend it if you have SQL Sentry to utilize it in a QA/Test environment for actively developed non-trivial applications to help diagnose problems before they move to production.

Discovering Root Cause with SQL Sentry

Even though the virtual machine had 8 CPUs, throughput stank. We noticed in PA that the CX packet waits were high. We adjusted the max CPUs and minimum query cost settings. This resulted in markedly less CPU usage and a huge increase in throughput. So much that we reclaimed 4 SQL Server CPU licenses!
