Get a QuoteDatabase performance doesn’t have to be a guessing game. Do you find yourself asking…
How can I optimize performance?
Quickly identify bottlenecks, pinpoint their root causes, and prioritize actions.
Can I identify performance issues based on resource usage?
DPA can help determine true root cause of issues through wait-time analysis.
Where do I begin optimizing my database?
DPA identifies the most impactful queries and inefficient workloads.
We’re here to help make database performance easier.
Key Features
- Intuitive performance analysis
Easy drill in, context setting, and consistent navigation
Understand your SQL Server performance picture at a glance and across key dimensions: Queries, Waits, Applications, Client Machines, Users, and more.
- Blocking and deadlock analysis
See what’s being blocked AND what’s doing the blocking—plus, detailed deadlock analysis
Know your SQL Server blocking hierarchy, as well as the overall impact to your database performance caused by blocking; in addition, see detailed deadlock resolution reports.
- Workload and index advisors/recommendations
Identify your best index, query, and table tuning opportunities
Identify high-impact, inefficient T-SQL—aggregated by tables—to find indexing opportunities. The SQL performance analyzer in DPA can provide an “X marks the spot” performance analysis of actual workload.
- Anomaly Detection
Use machine learning-powered anomaly detection to know when behavior is different than expected.
Use an intelligent algorithm that gets better over time to understand your SQL Server wait behavior so you can see and alert when patterns deviate from expected.
- Query performance analysis
T-SQL tuning advisors can provide clear and actionable advice
T-SQL and plan analysis, as well as correlating query wait time with statistics, resource metrics, blocking data, and more. Tuning advisors can point to MSSQL server problems that need immediate focus.
- Real-time and historic monitoring
Execute root cause analysis right now or time travel with historic data
24/7 monitoring of SQL servers can help answer why performance is or was bad, plus get a handle on where performance is headed or how your system is trending.
- Management API
Automate and scale the management of your database environment with our API.
Web interface and read-only rights help make DPA database management software safe to use across teams. SQL developers can see the impact of new code in production, and operations can see the impact of any changes.
- Collaboration across teams
Developers, DBAs, and operations teams can finally get on the same page—DPA can help everyone understand performance
Web interface and read-only rights help make DPA database management software safe to use across teams. SQL developers can see the impact of new code in production, and operations can see the impact of any changes.
- Availability Group Monitoring
Get AG status, health, and alerts for failovers or health status changes
Get helpful insights into the status and health of your Always On Availability Group environment in MSSQL, as well as get alerted when things change.
- Alerts and reports
Alert when problems occur and generate reports to help share the performance story
SQL Server activity alerting and reporting that is designed to be comprehensive and not overload your inbox. Baselining can highlight outliers. DPA’s SQL performance analyzer tool includes pre-built alerts and reports, or you can create your own.
- VMware vSphere performance monitoring
Correlate database to VM performance
Map performance issues to key virtual machine (VM) metrics and determine the impact of VM performance on the database.
