Database monitoring that works

  • June 21, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
All the details and metrics it collects and provides. The reporting is very helpful and the ability to zoom in collectively on multiple metrics is very beneficial.
What do you dislike about the product?
Seems to be an ongoing issue with maintenance windows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It provides much more than basic monitoring and alerting. It gets very collective in nature as far as monitoring VLFs for log files and untrusted Foreign Keys or Check constraints. Some things you wouldn't even have thought to look for.

Very Detailed

What do you like best about the product?
The customer support for SentryOne is the absolute best. They respond immediately and will work through any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have had issues using the maintenance windows groups (resolved). It is sometimes hard to find customized alerts as there are so many layers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using SentryOne to monitor over 100 SQL instances. The query plan explorer is a great tool as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend SentryOne for large enterprise companies. The reporting piece is well developed. And most of all their support team is extremely helpful.

Efficient

  • April 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SQL query tuning. Great. Simple interface, easy to use and review performance. Query performance allows historical details which is a great feature. It's able to identify performance issues quickly. Easy to upgrade and administer and have had few issues with implementation. No bugs to report.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive product; although, it does have a lot of great features. Best for larger companies with bigger budgets and needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We sought this product out for monitoring database in hybrid environments, and it has worked well so far. It speeds up resolution time but has not yet paid for itself, so the benefits haven't yet outweighed the costs. Time will tell, but I'm hopeful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
A cost-benefit analysis is key. Database Performance Analyzer has several features that lead to greater efficiency and better cross-team collaboration, however the upfront costs of implementation may not be worth it for smaller companies. It's a great product worth a trial period at the very least.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is a great software. I like the ability to see current activities from multiple aspect, the quick solve for issues for my company severs. I love how the software narrow down to the right place of root cause. Tagging and Annotation is another great, and the ability to see past details is very helpful while working on Query performance.

There are some problems with the software, one of the issues is that I can’t search the specific text on any of the sub screen when drill down to session, SQL, machine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It’s one of the best tools if you need a database performance analyzer, we use it now in my workplace. It’s perfect for finding, analyzing, solving any type of SQL Database issues.it speeds up the process that increases the overall cycle time for resolving any Database issue.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Solarwinds software is the best database performance analyzer I have ever seen and I definitely recommend it over all competing software.

Product Not Fit For Purpose on OLTP SQL

  • January 16, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Intuitive/easy to use. Easy to administrate once it has been set up.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool captures execution time by using the plan hash – which works fine for read queries, but for transactional DML, it's likely that most of the time it is the COMMIT TRAN that takes the bulk of the wait time (WRITELOG wait) – as there is no plan for a COMMIT, DPA doesn’t capture the stats for it, so it can’t be used to determine if an increase in wait time is the result of higher executions, or something else. Given that execution times and execution counts for the stored procs (containing the ‘COMMIT TRAN’ statements to which I refer above) are available in the DMV, I asked Solarwinds if they were planning to address this and their response was that “there is nothing to fix”/”speak to Microsoft”.

We are looking to drop them as a vendor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Identify problematic/poorly performing SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For read transactions, it's a great tool, for OLTP traffic, of little use.
