"SolarWinds DPA"
What do you like best about SolarWinds Database Observability?

Best part it the central thing where you can make one master and slave mapping between the two Dpa application servers.

The graphs and minute level of monitoring is only doable from DPA otherwise we can do the monitoring from SAM Module also but will not get the same level of experience from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Database Observability?

It has got limited licenses per app server. I can have my 400 database servers polled from a single Dpa App server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
