Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer
It is used in IT to monitor database performance and to assist with troubleshooting when there are performance issues with key applications. It is primarily used by our Database Administrators and has assisted in maintaining key performance metrics. It has allowed us to be proactive in our approach to performance monitoring and being able to resolve problems before they affect users.
- Monitoring DB performance
- Insight into hard hitting queries or jobs
- Visual representation
- Can be better in presentation of issues
- Would be good if it could provide possible causes or solutions
- Reduction in troubleshooting time.
- Historical performance assists with sizing decisions.
We were a long-time user of Database Analyzer even before it was acquired by SolarWinds. We did look at other applications in the past. As it has been a long period, its not beneficial to mention here. We have seen some other options like from Microsoft and Oracle which are limited.
