    Outsourcing/Offshoring

This is going to completely change the way my developers attack problem code.

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that you get detail on specific queries. I can now have my developers focus on very detailed issues, and can pinpoint where issues are occurring.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing that I dislike so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're going to start attacking poorly performing queries. This tool has shown us incredible amounts of data that we didn't have the bandwidth to dig for in the past. My team can focus on a few things and start knocking additional things off the list as we fix them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is especially helpful for small teams. I have one DBA and 5 developers supporting 15k employees, so finding the time to do DB work is never easy. This narrows down the scope of finding problems tremendously.

DPA

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The email reports are great for seeing what is going on. The console is easy to use and provides real time data. Has helped figure out lots of problem areas.

Really don't have any dislikes. Some times the renewing the license requires contact with Solarwinds.

DataBase Performance Analyzer

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We really like the integration with Database performance analyzer and Perfstack Analysis. Being able to bring the data side by side with some of the other solarwinds functions is what we have been missing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could just do a complete integration with the Orion portal. Right now it feels like separate products which they kind of are under the SolarWinds name. If it was completely integrated into the SolarWind website and we didn't have to login to two it would help with the flow for our user base.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It really provides our Database team with a central location for visibility into their application. As well as its very easy for non DBA's. We can provide access to our DevOps team and they can help correlate events with the Databases we have in dpa.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its expensive but a great addition to your monitor toolset!!

Best database performance monitoring

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that you are able to see everything involved with the databases. It is very easy to see what queries are taking the most time and you can see the exact query that is being executed. It is easy to setup and you can get monitoring going very quickly. The performance of the actual DPA application is very fast. Upgrades are very quick as well. They usually only take about 20 minutes. It supports all common DB languages. A wizard allows the adding of database instances very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product needs more integration into the Orion platform, especially for reporting. It would be nice if the alerts and reporting were setup like the Orion platform. This product was purchased by SolarWinds and does not yet have the same feel as the Orion platform. I am sure this is on the radar and will take time. I would also like to customize the charts more that are pulled from DPA, in the Orion interface. It also needs to have some sort of agentless monitoring. The cost can be significant when monitoring a lot of instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it mainly to solve problems with application performance. Often, it is the application's database that is the issue. DPA shows us that it really isn't even the the actual database, but improperly written queries.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to see database performance and more than you will ever use, use this product. You wont be sorry.

MSG DB Review

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The analytics from one-pane of glass. While that is often overstated in our industry, the DB menu and customization interfaces have truly been invaluable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial Setup is always the hardest part with any deployment. But with the kind folks at SW Support we managed to get it up and running without issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SQL resource consumption and process improvement.
We have identified the resource hogs and allocated more to them to lessen the impact on applications and end-user experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
SW Product lines always have something of value and always remember you don't know what you don't know. Having the right tool in place helps prevent any "gotcha" moments.

DPA to trust your database

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
When a SQL Server database instance includes Availability Groups (AGs), the DPA homepage provides the following information:

The AG status icon AG_status_icons.png identifies database instances that include AGs. An AG status summary box shows the number of database instances with partially healthy or unhealthy AGs. As with other status summary boxes, click the filter next to a status to display only those instances.
What do you dislike about the product?
Alerting needs to be more promising
Custom Report for Resources for a Program in DPA
Automatic exporting for DPA logs should be added into newer versions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its ease of use makes itself more prompt than the other tools.
The application is mostly used for the AWS environments.
Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.5) is not supported with DPA 10.2.579

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool!!!
Ease of access
Ease of use
Easy to deploy
Very light weight
Data integrity is maintained
