There is nothing to dislike in this software. I had a hard time coming up with a con for this since it really did exactly what I needed it to do. So I have to resort to this: it's not free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quite expensive tool, we tried it for trial 14 days but couldn't afford later as it's not affordable by the organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DPA is a great tool for any database administrator. It helps you have a simple oversight of all your databases and highlights possible problems or performances issues, that could be affecting the end user. It highlights problems with historical statistics and helps you keep on top of maintenance and troubleshooting, these are just some of things we love. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't feel like an independent module and requires SAM to get full use out of it. The cost of licensing could be cheaper, especially when you need other modules to really utilise it fully. Acquiring the licensing and other modules in one hit can be expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DBA by solarwinds is another excellent module for DB management and monitoring. If you have felt like you're blind to DB performance issues, DB problems or anything else then this product will change the way you work. It will help you find problems much faster and even prevent potential downtime, by bring things to your attention before they cause problems. The varied views help you have a quick oversight of all your DB without going in and out of various windows. The historical information is another by win for DBA, allowing to monitor query performance etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DBA lacks search capability at the moment and this would be something that would improve it, if it was implemented. It would also be nice if it was closer integrated with the rest of the solarwinds platforms, as it feels like a separate product entirely at times, though this isn't that big a deal.

It gives you an overall insight to all databases with alerts and a real understanding what's happening. If you are constantly battling clueless issues or lack of alerts and information then this is a real game changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DPA offers a great overall view of your live databases and can immediately draw your attention to potential problems. It saves you a lot of time in the way it can troubleshoot a lot of problems for you or bring to your attention problems that could lead to downtime etc. It’s easy to set up and gives you peace of mind, especially when managing multiple databases. It has helped us solve ongoing problems by relaying historical information and bringing certain trends to our attention. Highly recommended. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As good as DPA is, it can get quite costly especially if there is a need for growth. Some reporting and the in built search could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good product and most convenient with logging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One great thing that Solarwinds did was to make the User Interface very simple and quick. In many other Monitoring tools, the transaction time is long and it doesn't give us real-time information. With Solarwinds Database performance Analyzer the information is real-time and we can inform the Database admins to take action as soon as the alert comes in.
