SQL Beacon was developed to help you monitor multiple client environments and tailor thresholds and alerts to suit the needs of individual clients. SQL Beacon is a monitoring tool designed specifically for consulting companies – allowing you to monitor multiple client environments without asking clients to purchase monitoring software or sacrificing your margin for tool vendors. SQL Beacon was designed by consultants for consultants.
Monitor multiple client environments with one tool – SQL Beacon gives you the ability to tailor thresholds and alerts to suit individual client requirements.
Working on a retainer model? It can be difficult to find the balance between demonstrating value and profitability. With SQL Beacon, automatically send your clients daily and weekly reports to detail all the good work you achieved for them.

Monitoring is a key element of providing remote database administration services. Purchasing a monitoring tool from one of the big 5 vendors quickly eats into your margin and using your clients monitoring tool of choice (if any) requires you to have in-depth knowledge of a range of tools on the market as you scale your business. With SQL Beacon, you keep your costs down and get the data you need.
Providing superior customer service takes more than a good DBA. Strengthen client relationships by being extra-responsive. SQL Beacon detects events before they escalate into issues so you can be proactive, not reactive. Your clients won’t ring you with a problem, you’ll ring them first to let them know you’re already handling it. Improving the relationship with your clients and increasing revenue from your retainer.

This report can be branded just like your MyVirtualDBATM portal. If you purchase an SQL Beacon license, you have the option to whitelabel the Daily Healthcheck Report and your MyVirtualDBATM portal.
The Daily Healthcheck Report is automatically sent to your clients with your own fonts, brand colors and logos so that it looks like a report coming from your organisation rather than the SQL Beacon tool itself. We completely re-skin your MyVirtualDBATM portal so that your customer feels like they’re logging in to a portal your organisation has put together, rather than SQL Beacon.
