We started using a couple of other SolarWinds products and were very happy with the results. Adding Database Performance Analyzer to our inventory of IT tools was a natural choice for us.
It's very helpful to have the robust reporting features available when you have a mission-critical database. We need to be aware of what is happening on our server and be able to tune and adjust as required to keep things running fast and smooth. SolarWinds DPA allows us to do this.
