Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer

We're using SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer on a daily basis for:
  • monitoring our Oracle RAC performance
  • searching for performance bottlenecks
  • analyzing historical data and trends
  • solving developers problems
It's our one and only database monitoring solution.
  • It's super helpful when hunting down problems with performance.
  • It's easy to install and configure.
  • It doesn't require crazy computation power or tons of memory.
  • DBA-friendly.
  • GUI/UI could be more modern.
  • Pricing: it's reasonable but not cheap.
  • Deep integration with AWS managed databases would be really nice.
  • We're solving database problem faster.
  • We've increased database performance.
  • We've narrowed down and solved a lot of bottlenecks.
  • Thanks to some tunning a few of our applications are running even 30% faster.
SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is faster, cheaper and more reliable. It's missing some native features but nothing extra useful.
It's a great alternative to Oracle Enterprise Manager especially when you on a standard database license. If you're in a cloud environment like AWS your monitoring options are slightly limited. It would be great if SolarWinds could add some integrations with CloudWatch and native RDS, Aurora, etc. metrics to correlate database performance with "hardware" metrics.
