Testimonials
Kind words from our valued customers
“We found the DBInsight Monitor tool to be a highly effective way of monitoring the performance of our mission critical servers. In particular it has provided us with detailed information about our SQL environment, including internal SQL memory pressure, blocking locks root cause and VM Snapshot backup failures due to overruns. This has allowed us to take a more proactive view to problem solving, and therefore a saving in time and other important resources.”
Jim Gordon, IT Manager, Deaf Services Queensland
“DB Insight has been utilised by our group of companies for several years. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are fast, competent and professional. They have solved every problem we have encountered and the service is outstanding. We simply cannot speak highly enough of them. They communicate in laymen’s terms (Plain English), explain what they have done and their charges are very fair and reasonable. We have had no hesitation in recommending Rob and the team to other organisations in our industry. We wish Rob and the team all the best! Thank you sincerely for all your efforts.”
Craig Young, Director, Impact Financial Services, Sydney, NSW, Australia
“When we engaged DBInsight to perform a comprehensive SQL Server health check, we had great expectations. But then we got so much more than we expected. Expertise and attention to detail is second to none. Our system is so much better for it now.”
Martin Kammann, Owner, Autag Pty Ltd, Brisbane, QLD, Australia
“Thank the 7 gods we found this bloke. We have had a pile of crap dumped on our lap many times thanks to other incompetent IT providers and Rob has been the one to sort it out. In fact, he is considered the Grand Wizard of SQL by us. Rob, despite being a QLD’r, clearly does not sleep. We have had alerts at ridiculous hours and Rob has fixed them. No issue. If only we could sprinkle Rob Dust on all of our IT providers. Now nobody likes IT people because they speak a different language and send you big bills that you understand even less. Rob is unique in that he speaks English (IT perspective) and his bills are modest. In short, we like Rob. We like DB Insight. Use them.”
Craig Young, Director, Impact Financial Services, Sydney, NSW, Australia
“As a tech startup with a global market, we had to ensure that our database was scalable, secure and highly available. We engaged DBinsight as our virtual DBA and Rob has been absolutely brilliant. Using SQLRDS Monitoring tools, Rob and team are alerted to and respond to any issues before we are aware of them. I couldn’t recommend DBInsight more highly.Whether you are a startup or a mature business, if you value your data, then you need to ensure that the right expertise is at hand always. Rob is the best SQL DBA technically, speaks in plain English (not tech speak) and is a pleasure to work with. Do your business a favour and call DBInsight.”
Aidan Gani, Chief Technology Officer, WorkApp Pty Ltd
“We have been relying on Rob from DBInsight to help with our Azure SQL Server database since September 2015.We initially engaged him when our database was at 60GB and we were experiencing high CPU/IO, whilst on the highest pricing tier offered by Azure SQL (at the time it was P3).He quickly got our queries under control, but more remarkably, with his continued help we were able to remain on the same pricing tier as our client base more than doubled and our database grew to over 800GB.
Recently, just as it looked like we were going to have to scale up due to database size, Rob helped out again and reduced the database to less than half – thus allowing us to remain on the same pricing tier for the foreseeable future.
Rob has also provided SQL training to my team which was great in raising the overall awareness of what to consider when writing application code that will invariably require access to the database.
So Rob has saved us money – no doubt about it – but there is something more important and valuable to us – Rob provides us peace of mind – knowing that he is always there to help fix the database when things go wrong – to me, that is priceless.
Having Rob help out when required is a great solution for us, and in my opinion more effective and cost effective than an inhouse DBA. Rob gains experience from helping out a bunch of clients which means that he can always recommend new and improved ways that we could/should do things.
'To Rob, I say, thanks heaps for all your help over the years – you have kept us running.
Not surprisingly, I definitely and unequivocally recommend Rob and DBInsight to any organization with a database – be it, on-prem or cloud.”
Mike Van Radars, Inspect Real Estate
