Since it is SQL specific, the granularity of data stands out from general monitoring tools. We use Solarwinds SAM, NPM, NTA, etc. and this is just another example of how SW is broadening their portfolio with best of breed systems monitoring tools allowing our IT Operations staff to focus on other projects and tasks, rather than dump time into identifying buffer cache overflows, time wait handles, lock time-outs, etc. – performance monitoring can be very time consuming – fortunately, we have DPA (Confio Ignite).
