Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer

Our SQL server performance monitoring is done by using DPA SolarWinds. It's used in our department only.
  • Details query capture with the plan and resource utilization.
  • DPA backend is an SQL server that you can control by performing some operations from the backend like change in retention, etc.
  • Supports latest SQL features like AG.
  • Report features are very good
  • License management. DPA is not able to sync licenses and needs you to manually reconcile every time.
  • Better monitoring and proactive action on the basis of data collected helped to reduce outages and performance issues.
  • AG monitor give HADR monitoring
Well suited as an SQL server execution plan analyzer. Also, provides advice on the tunning part.

Alerting and reporting is also good features.
