TechValidate Research on SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer


Case Study: Prestige Cruise Holdings, Inc

“I’ve used several SQL monitoring software in the past. I still needed to delve deeper into SQL WAITs. Ignite’s ability to assign specific WAITs to resources for each of the queries was very useful. Drilling through SQL, OS, VM, and storage is the most useful tool to diagnose performance issues within SQL. This dramatically helped to quickly analyze bottlenecks and even increased IT intra-teams collaboration.”

“[I appreciate the] ability to drill through performance issues and identify source of problem. This can be daunting task in a virtualized environment with many hosts, multiple SANs, and hybrid networks (iSCSI, Fiber).”
