Deployment Engineer Information Technology and Services ### "Best Database Performance Analyzer" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 18, 2024 Pros DPA supports various database platforms, making it very versatile for organizations with diverse database environments.

Cons Costing and implementation are the beauty of this product.

Chief Technology Officer Financial Services ### "Every SQL Server DBA's best friend" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 August 30, 2022 The product is really a godsend. You set it up in minutes and receive insights almost instantly. After 24 hours, it has a good idea of what is going on and you can go to town. By just looking at the console weekly, you ca make small incremental changes that have demonstrable impact and avoid the need to scale up and scale out unnecessarily. I've never found another product that does the same thing. Pros Database Performance Analyzer helps to quickly focus your team's efforts on issues with your RDBMS. It focuses on the concept of wait-time, looking for queries that take time and are executed often to help give you an overall view of what users are experiencing with your database. Cons I have yet to find a gripe about this product. Everything that it does it useful and saves us time and effort.

Senior Infrastructure Administrator ### "You don't have to be a DBA to benefit from using this!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 18, 2018 Pros We were able to use this product to identify issues with our database's performance that was initially thought to be caused by network issues. I'm not a DBA but I was able to easily navigate through the product and view snapshots of performance data during the time people were experiencing issues. Having the historical performance data was absolutely vital. As you know, the information about an issue occurring never arrives in real time! After drilling down (again, super easy) I was able to see that a few large queries were responsible for the slowness. It even provided advice on how to improve the queries. I was able to send that information to our DBA who could use it to make improvements. Cons I had a hard time coming up with a con for this since it really did exactly what I needed it to do. So I have to resort to this: it's not free. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Systems Engineer Information Technology and Services ### "Use it to monitor and analyze our database perform. " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 8, 2018 Useful current or historical information on query (high wait / load / execute time). Pros Agent base software, easy to install and manage on either Physical or Virtual OS. Provide useful information on database performance (CPU, disk, query, wait time, and other status). Allow to setup any custom alerts and monitoring on MySQL or MSQL. Cons The agent itself could be sometimes consume some memory / threads / process if your database server is light on resources and critical on performance.

IT Director Mining & Metals ### "Database Performance Analyzer great product in the right situation" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 1, 2018 Pros The indepth detail and knowledge you get from this product is amazing, more than a reporting tool, its full monitoring with drill down details of storage, applications and more. Cons There is No support for SAP HANA. We moved from a supported MS SQL database to HANA for SAP and it doesn't have mature support for HANA. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. AB Ankit B. Information Security Analyst ### "Simple and Straighforward" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 December 10, 2017 Go ahead to use it Pros The really nice thing about DPA is that I can send developers a login and link (you can create non-admin "read" accounts) and it's easy enough to use that they can visualize and understand things without having to jump into an user guide. the tool is simple to use and offers a viable freeware whose only basic limitation is a four window for history - this allows for one to test drive the software and see exactly what it can do. Cons It would be nice if there were a little more customization available on some of the detail screens, and when viewing all of the SQL for a time segment it would be nice if the information weren't presented as an image, which would allow you to search for a text string (that is currently embedded in the image. It will be good if the price is lower Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

DBA and Change Manager Non-Profit Organization Management ### "DPA Good SQL tool" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 5, 2016 Solarwinds DPA has been a great asset to out toolset. While adhoc SQL can tell us a lot this tool helps to bring it all together in a single tool with great visual references. It also provides great history to review issues and performance impact and goals. Pros Ease of use and history Cons Don't really have any.
