SolarWinds Database Observability Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.
