Overall Satisfaction with Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer

DPA is being used by certain departments in the organization. For performance testing team, it helps to investigate and triage the performance issues that we see in an application. DPA's ability to put a very little overhead (<1%) helps to reduce the performance latency compared to other tools. Also, one of the great features of DPA which helps us is its comparability for on-prem as well as cloud-based monitoring.
  • Low overhead on monitored instances.
  • Ability to monitor both on-prem as well as cloud instances.
  • Setup tutorials could have been more simplified like how to set-up alerts and so.
  • DPA should have a feature where I can text search. That's just not good :(
  • No need to find another tool based on whether you have infrastructures on-prem or cloud.
DPA is good where you'd need to troubleshoot complex performance issues that's being pointed to the data base. From a cost perspective, I'd think this is costly for small companies.
