Solarwinds DPA must have
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of information given to you in one place. They make it easy to track down the issue at hand. You need need to do any other queries for trying to find the issue you have. Bring up Solarwinds DPA and you can get all the information you need. There is even a new feature that you can use DPA information and show it along side information from other modules so you have data to compare at a particular time frame.
What do you dislike about the product?
Is there something I should dislike? The Solarwinds interface can be slow at times and I know there are ways to make it more responsive but have not gotten to optimization yet. Sometimes there can be an overwhelming amount of data. They do a really good job at delivering you anything and everything you need, just need the time to sort it all out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Database bottlenecks have been much easier to locate. We recently just had an issue with a system constantly going down and we created a performance analysis comparing data from the server hardware, system, DPA and the network to find the issue. Being able to see all the data we needed including the deep dive into the DB helped us pin down the exact issue and rule out what was not the issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
need to give it a try and see all the information it can give you. If you have at least one DB install this software and see what information you can get you never seen before.
Life Saver
What do you like best about the product?
I liked being able to monitor SIDs on database instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
A small dislike but it would be the cost of the product. Oracle instances come with a premium cost vs SQL instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This will be beneficial for those with minimal database experiences. In tough situations, it is good for a non DB person to be able to dive into this product and see potential issues like long running queries that need to be killed that cause service degradation.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This product is great for a team that wants to add it to their Solarwinds Portfolio, especially if Database monitoring is a need. There are other Database monitoring tools, but this will allow a small IT team to have one pane of glass for troubleshooting.
Interesting way to monitor your databases using Wait-Time Analytics.
What do you like best about the product?
The wait-time analytics is great. The software easily points our where issues are with poorly written queries. Integration with the rest of the SolarWinds suite is also very helpful as we can place performance statistics from multiple modules onto the same graph. Adding storage metrics from the Storage Arrays with OS metrics, and DPA counters make mapping out potential issues easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. The price per database is too high. We would like if SolarWinds offered an enterprise license. Also the trial period is too short at 14 days, it doesn't give enough time to fully vet the product. Aligning the trial with their other products at 30 days would be better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use DPA to monitor our Enterprise Monitoring Database. This software easily shows which queries are generating the most amount of wait-time. We monitor the database that is doing the monitoring for the enterprise. When we perform upgrades we can tell right away if there are performance issues.
A must have product for database group
What do you like best about the product?
I love the start screen which immediately shows instances/queries need to be looked at.
What do you dislike about the product?
I could use a feature where it would allow me to email detail deadlock report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DPA is helping us to ensure databases run smoothly.
Excellent analytical tool for system performance
What do you like best about the product?
The graphs and different options to customize.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I can think of hand that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to find bottlenecks in DBs
quick, easy and complete inside view
What do you like best about the product?
easy installation, easy DB connection, direct detailed view out of box
What do you dislike about the product?
short test license range not within 30day Solarwinds standard
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
slow DB performance with business impact and no visibility where the bottle neck was
DPA Helps Us Provide Managed Database Services
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to deploy and manage DPA. I also think that SolarWinds provides both fantastic support and has a great community behind their products with Thwack. I also love that it integrates with the Orion suite of products which we also use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a complicated tool to use if you are not a DBA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a service provider and DPA has helped us provide a better managed database service. We have also received very good client feedback regarding the product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely take advantage of the trial to compare this product against others.
DPA is an amazing resource
What do you like best about the product?
The quickness of resolution of our issues as well as the transparency it gives across teams. We can dig into what the root issue is easily with DPA. The monitoring feature is second to none and allows us to find the issues when comparing to a baseline.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing that I dislike so far about the DPA.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Solarwinds DPA to track performance issues in our environment. It has been a great tool so far.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Implement this analyzer as it will greatly benefit your organization.
Great insight to real time stats
What do you like best about the product?
The most beneficial aspect for me was the storage stats. Having a real time chart to read reads, writes and latency allows us to have a more proactive approach to response times.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't too much to dislike however adding more administrative control functions would expand on the product's functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visually seeing trends in peak performance utilization has allowed for more scalable maintenance plans.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The product does everything as advertised and more.
