Understand your SQL Server performance picture at a glance and across key dimensions: Queries, Waits, Applications, Client Machines, Users, and more.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use the management REST API to programmatically manage your environment including the ability to register, license, stop/start monitors, annotate, and more.
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.
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.
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.
Map performance issues to key virtual machine (VM) metrics and determine the impact of VM performance on the database.

Less than 1%. DPA is agentless and only monitors active sessions allowing you to keep your overhead on monitored instances extremely low.
Download and install your free trial using our Getting Started Guide, which is located in the Success Center.
Because we are agentless, we can monitor Oracle, Oracle Exadata, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, DB2, MariaDB, Aurora, and SAP ASE. We support databases on-premises—both physical and virtualized machines—or in the cloud.
For Microsoft SQL Server, we support both SQL Server in Azure VM and Azure SQL Managed Instance (ASMI). For Amazon Web Services (AWS), we support Aurora along with Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL running in EC2 or RDS.
