Infrastructure and Application Performance Monitoring (APM)

Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds AppOptics

The My.Appoptics is a great tool that provides in-depth analysis of end-to-end implemented infrastructure. I would like to see especially with SQL Server options that provide SPID. This helps to backtrack from database side .Secondly, only a part of a bigger SQL query is captured. I would like to see SPID or all of the SQL query to be provided. Otherwise, it is still a problem to solve performance related issues. One good thing I like is that AppOptics at higher level pinpoints the performance issue if it is at a database level, CPU level, etc. Once it is determined that the query needs to be tuned. So a SPID or all of the longer SQL query needs to be displayed.
  • Pinpoints the area of concern
  • Provides most of the database-level details
  • Good graphical presentation
  • Database-level details SPID
  • Provide a notepad file for longer SQL Code
  • Google Chrome new window open gets stuck sometime
  • Less downtime
  • Alerts for improvement in query performance
  • Good graphical presentation for less technical users
AppOptics provides us visibility of the overall system. Slack helps us to keep the communication better among our collegues. Sentry One is also being used to dive deeper into SQL queries performance tuning. SolarWinds AppOptics clearly displays the flow of information in scripts. This is definitely an advantage to the organization identifying where the problem is--that's what AppOptics does.
1) Scenarios related to a web application and IT firing queries to Database.
2) Only database queries
3) Big data queries
4) Performance tuning stored procedures. Very important when users complain about a long-running query. Queries can be sorted by the highest wait statistics and can help to know the number of requests as well.
