What do you like best about SolarWinds Database Observability?

the tool is simple to use and offers a viable freeware whose only basic limitation is a four window for history - this allows for one to test drive the software and see exactly what it can do. it also is agentless so nothing to install on database servers that might impact performance. zero learning curve - the tool works the way DBA's think about finding the needle in the performance haystack Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SolarWinds Database Observability?

at first the price seems a bit high, but after using the freeware to see the value it becomes a little easier to justify - but still wish they offered a portable consultant type license for reasonable cost Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SolarWinds Database Observability:

start by trying the freeware. you will get addicted and then having complete history will not only make sense - but be easy to justify the expense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SolarWinds Database Observability solving and how is that benefiting you?

database performance issues once database changes, application or code placed into production Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
