Just a few reasons to choose Database Performance Analyzer

Cross-platform database support with machine learning anomaly detection to pinpoint performance issues in minutes.

Cross-Platform Database Coverage

Database Performance Analyzer supports a broad range of database platforms including Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, DB2, and more. This gives organizations a single-pane-of-glass view into their database environment with a consistent approach to database performance management and monitoring.

Machine Learning Anomaly Detection

Unlike database performance monitoring solutions that use antiquated user defined thresholds, Database Performance Analyzer pinpoints performance deviations based on machine learning that gets smarter over time. What’s normal at 2 p.m. on a Monday is different than 9 a.m. on a Thursday.

Agentless Install With Low 1% Overhead

The last thing you want from a database performance management and monitoring solution is the hassle of installing agents on your database instances or incurring overhead just to monitor them. DPA is agentless and with thousands of customers; monitoring over 100,000 database instances incurs just 1% or less overhead.

Tuning Advisors for Expert Advice

Finding database performance issues is the first step. What you do after you find the issues is just as important. With Database Performance Analyzer, our tuning advisors provide detailed tuning advice for queries, so you know what to fix. Additionally, table and index tuning advisors are available to a select number of database platforms like SQL Server.
