DPA review
What do you like best about the product?
We've been using DPA for a couple of years now for our production Oracle instances. It's been incredibly valuable. Within a couple of weeks of installation, we were able to identify and correct an issue with some reporting that had been plaguing us for months. Even though we have and use Grid Control on a daily basis, without that additional wait info that DPA brought to the table we could not nail down the source of the problem. We now use it for our production MS Sql Server and MySQL instances and our DBAs are in it all day making sure everything is running well and identifying and quickly addressing issues that we see. Fantastic tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
After 2 years, I can't say I've found anything that I wish it did that it doesn't already do. Great tool, and the price is outstanding compared to competing products.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All the things that happen on a daily basis in any production RDBMS environment. Performance tuning, changing (in some cases dropping) or adding indexes. Identifying poorly performing queries and giving hard data on where the problems lie to our developers so they can correct it. We literally use it all day every day. If you have Orion, the integration with other Orion tools makes end to end analysis and troubleshooting even easier.

We use DPA to troubleshoot on a daily basis.
What do you like best about the product?
The addition of the waits and deadlocks has allowed us to work with our vendors in fixing and streamlining various queries. This in turn has led to faster turn around and the end user able to work more efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Until the latest release there has not been a facility for SQL Availability Groups. However we have just updated to the latest version and are evaluating this functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a few large databases and a lot of customization. We have been able to fix queries that were holding up other processes with the wait time analysis. Also we have extensively used the blockers/deadlocks information to further enhance and improve performance. We have been able to show senior leaders through the reporting the improvements that have been made, and increased end user satisfaction.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solarwinds allows free trials of their software. Just give it a try and make an evaluation.

DPA
What do you like best about the product?
I can monitor the performance of all my databases
What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't have a dislike for this product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Slow database responsiveness. Found what was causing it.
DPA changed our life!
What do you like best about the product?
At many client sites, we were stuck, in a perpetual war between the DB, Network and Server teams, playing "Push the Blame" game since past so many years. After installation of DPA, we started knowing exactly, where our database performance was lagging, where the Applications were hogging the resources, where the VMs felt less provisioned. DPA was the best decision we ever took.
What do you dislike about the product?
We are fairly new on DPA, so we don't yet have explored much yet to find out any faults. However, it would be ever better if they expand the Vendors supported on DPA, a few of our SAP devices are not monitored in DPA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As specified above, it helped us solve the eternal war between our IT teams, helps us give the seniors solid proof when we ask for better provisioning of the resources. The reports obtained through DPA are an added bonus.
SolarWinds DPA - View From Limited Use
What do you like best about the product?
Very in depth product and makes it a lot easier to find problems and root cause. Love the Tuning advisor, comes in very handy when you're not a DBA admin, and enjoy the query analysis.
Not being from a DBA background there is a learning curve to this, but if you take the input from DPA it will point you in the right direction more quickly to resolve the issue or even prevent the problem all together.

What do you dislike about the product?
Cost due to the licensing model, depending on your setup.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're still getting our heads around the product, but there was instantly some questions came up around tuning the databases that we hadn't realized before.
Great for those who aren't DBAs
What do you like best about the product?
Great data output, easy to understand charts that can be emailed. Our DBAs have really liked moving to the new product and we'd like to roll it out further. We host our own web applications. Being able to chart Database performance along application statistics is perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Separate server required to our standard Orion install. It would be nice to see the next steps of integration between DPA and the Orion Suite. We need to keep the number of VMs to a minimum.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Linking application performance to database performance when troubleshooting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get a trial and give it a try.
