Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer

As an organization that relies on data and databases, it is important that we have the right tools in place to ensure our data is always accessible. The technology team has set up SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer to monitor all of the critical databases on our network to ensure 100% uptime. SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer allows our technology team to focus on other issues and only deal with the SQL servers when SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer alerts the team to any potential issue.
  • Analyzes performance trends with all of the databases
  • Analyzes memory, CPU, and disk space on the SQL servers and alerts on any potential issues
  • Provides stats on wait times by database
  • Offers tuning suggestions on how to improve the performance of under-performing databases and queries
  • query and index suggestions are not straight forward. you need to understand sql in order to interpret and use the suggestions properly
  • if you have a lot of databases, the price could inhibit the implementation
  • not all reported issues have suggested fixes
  • In today's world, people want access to information faster and faster. Our organization had some applications that were not operating as quickly as users thought they should. With SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer, we were able to pinpoint the issue, create new indexes, and speed up access to the information.
  • SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer allows our technology staff to focus on other areas of the business. When a database issue arises, SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer provides alerts to the staff, rather than running database analysis tools on an adhoc basis.
  • For smaller environments like ours, SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is a cost effective solution.
Our organization has not compared SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer with any other products. We selected SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer for the simple fact that we use other SolarWinds products, and we wanted a solution that both compliments and integrates with our other monitoring solutions.
SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer was the only product that met both of those requirements.
SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is great for any company that uses some form of SQL server in their environment. Whether it's Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, etc, SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer provides insight into your environment's health.
In order to fully utilize and appreciate SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer, I do recommend you have some experience with SQL queries and databases, as some of the suggestions and issues that could arise needs to be fully understood prior to implementing the suggested fixes.
