Comprehensive monitoring has delivered accurate insights and supports reliable banking operations
In terms of technical support, there was a time we experienced issues, but that has been resolved. We encountered a downtime and attempted to contact technical support, which was quite challenging, but that has improved after we reported the issue and everything is now fine. Therefore, we do not have any issues with technical support currently. Regarding the AI functionality and observability, we tried to understand how the AI functionality works, and I believe there is a gap in our understanding. I do not know if a session can be organized for our team to gain more insight into the AI module or functionality. For now, the only two aspects that caused me some difficulties are support and AI. Aside from that, everything works flawlessly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"Real-time monitoring in SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is very useful for maintaining database performance, as many of our customers have been using multiple instances of this solution."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer can help us identify issues we cannot see manually."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer helped us locate the performance issues quickly."
"The platform solves and prevents delays in receiving answers from databases."
"DPA, for us, breaches that gap and it gives us a real nice, very concise graphical interface and visibility into the database performance itself."
"The most valuable features I find in SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer are the granular level of details about database performance and other aspects such as queries—what queries are running and what queries are taking a long time."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer's most valuable features include the notification of consuming the SQL queries, collecting data, and notifying about managing space and tables."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer does not have an anomaly detection feature."
"For now, the only two aspects that caused me some difficulties are support and AI."
"One of things that I'd like to see is when you're dealing with a clustered instance or a rack instance, being able to visualize all the nodes for that one rack instance on a single page, so you can see if a particular node is maybe taking more load, if there's a problem with one of the nodes in your cluster, something like that."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing of the platform."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should provide customization options allowing users to add different columns."
"I do not think that SolarWinds support is very good because it just takes too long to solve the problem."
"I would rate their technical support a little lower than expected, so there is room for improvement."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should be easy to implement and it should have more facilities to make it better."
