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.

Great Insight into your databases
What do you like best about the product?
Charts and diagrams are always the best way to demonstrate to people who don't understand the details what's going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not 100% integrated into Orion yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Proof that SQL Express is not usable for production systems
SolarWinds DPA is a must have
What do you like best about the product?
Granular Details
The ability to mark points in time to track changes so you can see performance from that point in time.
The in app help and explanations.
Integrates into the Orion platform.

What do you dislike about the product?
AD authentication is not as easy to integrate as other SolarWinds products.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to resolve problems faster by showing historical information.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Well worth the investment, show this to your DBA's and I guarantee they will want it.
Been using Solarwinds DPA module for 3 years
What do you like best about the product?
I love the detailed information you are able to pull regarding the databases, their servers and the whole virtual environment. When syncing with NPM, it helps complete that "single pane of glass" view of your environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, there is nothing I would say I "dislike" about this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to see where our problem/latency spots are with our collection of Solarwinds products we have applied to the environment.
Solarwinds DPA
What do you like best about the product?
I love the integration with the existing Orion platform, as we also use Network Performance Monitor and Network Configuration Management. Agentless architecture. Gives direct insight on database performance, showing top queries, wait times, identifying database problems in real time. We currently only use SQL Server, but as our company grows, it's nice to know that there's cross-vendor support all from this one interface, in case we acquire an office that uses Oracle or MySQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more input on solutions to the detected problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting our SQL servers to run more efficiently. As a relatively inexperienced DBA, DPA has helped me more easily identify sources of problematic performance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Database Performance Analyzer is an absolute must for all DBAs, especially in the small to medium business world since we're often multitasking different roles beyond database administration.
Easy to Understand and Use for Everyone
What do you like best about the product?
DPA makes troubleshooting database problems easy for those that do not have a database background. Regardless of your knowledge of database, you will be able to find root cause in DPA.
What do you dislike about the product?
The architecture limits a single poller to about 250 instances. Each poller has it's own corresponding database. I would prefer that there is a higher level parent / child relationship instead of breaking out each pair.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DPA has provided insight into our databases for all areas (Dev, Ops, Tech, etc.). The detail of information has eliminated a lot of troubleshooting time to find root cause. We have used other database tools in the past, but none compare to the value that DPA provided.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
DPA provides insights into database problems for all skill levels. If you have never logged into a database before or if you are a database admin, you will find that DPA provides valuable information to help make your job easier.
DPA Review
What do you like best about the product?
DPA allows us to be proactive about monitoring databases in our environment and is easy to setup/configure. Everything integrates into a single console.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can give so much information it can be difficult to drill down and identify what is most important.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Catching issues before our customers complain. We are able to get insight into how the DBs are performing and can make decisions based on this information.
An Excellent Diagnostic Tool for Systems and DBA Collaborative Efforts
What do you like best about the product?
The wait-centric focus of DPA allows monitoring professionals to speak in meaningful terms to DBAs and other DB professionals, quickly leading to common ground and productive output. In addition, the deep integration of the product with Solarwinds' NPM platform allows for correlated views, reports, and data gathering from the front end to the app to DB in a seamless fashion.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much - the standalone DPA console is a trifle limited for granular reporting and alerting. Much of this limitation goes away when integrated with NPM, however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our primary goal was to identify bottleneck causes in weekly, month-end, and year-end processes. Being able to isolate the specific queries causing bottlenecks - and communicating those things effectively to our apps/DB teams - has significantly improved our execution level and reduced firefighting dramatically. The establishment of baselines for these processes also helps us be more efficient in differentiating between normal and abnormal ops.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a Solarwinds shop - or even if you're not - this product is worth your time. If eliminating the 'invisible' problems of Oracle/SQL/etc. is important to your business, DPA will help you get there.
Great Database Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and it works with every type of Databases whe have in commitment.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no funktionion in the web GUI to have custom reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The daily work withe databases are much faster and so also the problems are much faster solved
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Useful and easy to use tool to administrat and monitor your databases
Its a fast and efficient tool that reduces troubleshooting time
What do you like best about the product?
It keeps everything in a single pane of glass. Allow intergration with other solarwinds tools like Network Performance Monitor that we use in our organizations. It quickly shows you a possible root cause analysis where you can further troubleshoot and issue and shows trends on potential issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesnt really allow me to analyse between a database and a web application that uses that database on a single pane of glass. I would have to move between windows to do an analysis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It monitor core databases which affects customer experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its a fast efficient and easy tool that can allow you to troubleshoot database performance and statistics.
