    Additional DetailsScale plan offers additional database servers at a cost of $100/month for each additional billable server. In general, each 1 Postgres server that is running (i.e. one parent postgres process) is considered 1 billable server. In the case of cloud providers these are often called "instances". Depending on the subscription plan you are on, you may have a special price for replica servers (also called "readers", or "followers"), which is implemented by multiplying the replica count with a multiplier (e.g. 0.5), with the total rounded up. Annual plans are available and come at a discount compared to the monthly plans Contact us for custom requirements

    Computing resources consumed by the DB instance, DPA queries & wait time, deadlock conditions, virtual infrastructure resources. The addition of NPM & DPA integration as well as cross-correlation in the identification of issues with the network or server or DB is all stupid-proof. Monitoring is more than just health and resource consumption, it's also performance. DB performance analysis is key to maintaining healthy DB instances.

    It is better in terms of results provided. We were using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio so far and relying only on that but some one recommend to us to use pganalyze to do the query analysis and we started using it for one project and we liked it much that we have started recomended to all projects teams ..

    DPM is less expensive and more feature-rich. Also, Oracle tech support is garbage, unless you can afford to spend a day getting assistance.

    • What is the cost of a downed DB instance? That's your ROI. DPM lets you see issues before they become critical.
