SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is a great software. I like the ability to see current activities from multiple aspect, the quick solve for issues for my company severs.

• Ability to review previous SQL Server queries/performance.

• Inability to review SQL Server from a "resources" point of view and drill down into specific queries details.
• Inability to "group" queries together when the "filters" (i.e., where clauses) change but the overall query is the same.
• Cannot easily find a query using a "text search" without detailed knowledge of the underlying SQL database "repository" that is used to display the data in product.
• The tool, but itself, is *very* light on the resources side (CPU/memory/disk) compared to other vendors. You will need to purchase additional SolarWinds tools ($$). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is a great way of drawing your attention to the potential or ongoing problems with your DB. You can see at a glance or an even more in depth view if you so wish. It has helped us build trends and resolve problems by simply allowing the program to monitor our DB. If you're looking for a program to monitor and even predict potential issues with you DB this is it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't integrate into NPM as well as other modules and doesn't offer some of the detailed views and charts that NPM generally offers. Other than that it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
