The best features SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer offers include a user-friendly interface, real-time analysis and support, and a wide range of supported databases. Out of these features, I find myself relying on the user-friendly interface the most because all the features that I mentioned are great. An intuitive user interface makes it very easy to use even for non-technical users. Additionally, there is quick, easy, and reliable performance troubleshooting available in real-time and historically. Machine learning anomaly analysis brings intelligence to go beyond traditional threshold-based analysis. Cross-platform database support provides wide support for a single pane of glass view into our environment. I also love the agentless architecture with the ability to scale from a few instances to thousands, with as low as one percent average overhead. SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer has positively impacted our organization because since we started using this tool, it has been very helpful in finding and fixing root causes of any inefficiencies and implementing preventive measures. It is a good tool because of faster output, and there is no need to buy the whole server product if you need only database-related monitoring. You can monitor multiple environments, which is an added benefit. Specific outcomes and metrics I have seen since using SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer include multi-vendor database monitoring capabilities that are great, with flexibility to run SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer on a relatively less configured server, and rich raw data for reporting. API integration with ticketing tools is also great.
