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.
Recommended overall for database operations and management. The tool is key and has played a good role in providing key information for troubleshooting. It can, at times, present information in a way that can be confusing. But, the application is also very useful for maintaining application-specific metrics that can be used in SLAs and performance metrics.
