TechValidate Research on SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer


Case Study: Medium Enterprise Insurance Company

“We needed to have real-time and some historical insight into our Oracle SE databases that we could not get from Oracle due to the licensing restrictions on their diagnostics and tuning packs that require EE. The historical analysis was the big draw after being impressed by the free real-time capabilities. It is great to be able to generate performance trends to management or development teams.”

“It is much easier for me to identify problem SQL statements with DPA versus looking at a page full of seemingly useless numbers in a statspack report.”

Challenges

  • Purchased DPA to:
    • Improve end-user response time (application performance)
    • Improve database performance
    • Improve visibility into the database and the systems that support it
    • Accelerate root-cause identification for performance problems
    • Monitor overall health of our databases and be alerted when issues arise
    • Help database professionals spend less time looking for problems inside the database

Use Case

  • Platforms:
    • Windows
    • VMWare
    • Private Cloud
  • Database engines:
    • SQL Server
    • Oracle

Results

  • Realized the following benefits as a result of using DPA:
    • Increased database performance and end user experience
    • Improved visibility into their environment and improved collaboration (less finger pointing for troubleshooting)
    • Gained time to focus on more important or strategic parts of my job
    • Has the ability to find problems that were hard or impossible to find before
