207 SolarWinds Database Observability Reviews
SolarWinds Database Observability provides deep visibility into database performance with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. I especially appreciate the real-time query monitoring, wait time analysis, and query plan visualizations, which make it easy to identify performance bottlenecks quickly. The tool supports multiple database platforms (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), which is valuable in a heterogeneous environment. The customisable dashboards and alerting features are another highlight, allowing proactive monitoring and reducing the time to resolution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the feature set is robust, the initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
SolarWinds was able to provide the visibility we needed to identify network issues and outages in real-time.
The node details are extensive and the ability to monitor all network devices and interfaces
Integrations with different vendors and products are good for our environment.
Once the product is setup, there is not a lot of maintenance needed so it is hands off until we either need to update nodes, alerts, or adjust new reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were some odd issues that occurred during implementation that extended our timeline. Their support was able to resolve, it just took a lot of additional time and there was still difficulty with setting up the service accounts needed.
The reporting functionality was difficult to understand. We were attempting to create a very basic report and was not very intuitive to create. Even after attending several webinars and contacting support, we still had to make additional tweaks to obtain our desired output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a long-time IT administrator, finding the right observability tool that offers both depth and usability can be a challenge. SolarWinds Database Observability delivers on both fronts. From the moment we integrated it into our systems, it became clear that this solution was built with real-world database environments in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were some issue integrating some existing products SolarWinds, but I was able to resolve those issue with little difficulty . If you’re already in the SolarWinds ecosystem, the observability suite only enhances what you can do, without adding complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most significant advantage of Database Observability is the ability to monitor the long term changes in the databases’ activity. It makes it possible to identify workload changes over time and this can assist in proper allocation of resources. It is run in parallel with scheduling systems so that background processes do not interfere with peak times. This has helped to minimize disruptions and other such issues that would slow down the operations of the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A disadvantage of Database Observability is that it produces a high number of alerts for minor fluctuations in performance. However, having many alerts for minor changes is not very useful as it makes it difficult to identify genuine issues. Also, tuning the alert settings requires some time and if not well done, it results in many distractions. These issues have at one time or another hindered our capacity to handle emergent database problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy using the Database Observability because it shows us our database performance data. Our team struggled with too many database logs and performance numbers until now. Viewing trends and database issues has become easy. Our database performance data appears on a single display screen. Our time increases because it gives us notice when database issues may become hard to solve. Database Observability detected a slow query before it could create a performance bottleneck. Our quick action prevented a disastrous system slowdown from happening. This tool helps us avoid problems by detecting them first. Our team saves three hours per week because we use its detailed reports during our weekly meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The waiting time for data synchronization creates annoying delays. Our troubleshooting process hit a delay because the data needed time to sync. Database Observability often shows technical problems during use and I faced several times when the app interface froze so I needed to restart the application. The delay in syncing causes minor problems but does not prevent you from working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Best part it the central thing where you can make one master and slave mapping between the two Dpa application servers.
The graphs and minute level of monitoring is only doable from DPA otherwise we can do the monitoring from SAM Module also but will not get the same level of experience from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has got limited licenses per app server. I can have my 400 database servers polled from a single Dpa App server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Rakuten SixthSense Data Observability tool, data issues alerting has become very easy. The tool is very easy to use & integrate with other tools like Snowflake etc. Love the comprehensive dashboard for tracking all data metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
new features & integrations should be added now i feel. Rest is all good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The key feature that has accelerated our internal debugging of user reported issues is the ability to drill down to the timeframe the user reported issues and identify where the issue existed then work with our internal teams to resolve the service and query that is causing user experience issues.
