"Making DB management so much easier!"
What do you like best about SolarWinds Database Observability?

DBA by solarwinds is another excellent module for DB management and monitoring. If you have felt like you're blind to DB performance issues, DB problems or anything else then this product will change the way you work. It will help you find problems much faster and even prevent potential downtime, by bring things to your attention before they cause problems. The varied views help you have a quick oversight of all your DB without going in and out of various windows. The historical information is another by win for DBA, allowing to monitor query performance etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Database Observability?

DBA lacks search capability at the moment and this would be something that would improve it, if it was implemented. It would also be nice if it was closer integrated with the rest of the solarwinds platforms, as it feels like a separate product entirely at times, though this isn't that big a deal.

"A greater insight into database performance."
What do you like best about SolarWinds Database Observability?

DPA offers a great overall view of your live databases and can immediately draw your attention to potential problems. It saves you a lot of time in the way it can troubleshoot a lot of problems for you or bring to your attention problems that could lead to downtime etc. It’s easy to set up and gives you peace of mind, especially when managing multiple databases. It has helped us solve ongoing problems by relaying historical information and bringing certain trends to our attention. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Database Observability?

As good as DPA is, it can get quite costly especially if there is a need for growth. Some reporting and the in built search could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super Performance Monitoring of Databases."
What do you like best about SolarWinds Database Observability?

One great thing that Solarwinds did was to make the User Interface very simple and quick. In many other Monitoring tools, the transaction time is long and it doesn't give us real-time information. With Solarwinds Database performance Analyzer the information is real-time and we can inform the Database admins to take action as soon as the alert comes in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Database Observability?

I have been using Solarwinds Database Performance Analyzer for about 4 years now and I simply love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Database Performance Analyzer, tells you what you need to know."

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Database Observability?

Very complex product and lots of levels of information, but that's to be expected in this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
