Case Study: The Control Group achieves real-time container visibility and rapid troubleshooting with Sysdig Monitor (Sysdig)

The Control Group - Customer Case Study

The Control Group, a fast-growing San Diego-based tech company behind products like Instant Checkmate, Reverse Phone, and NextGen Leads, faced barriers to full container adoption: immature networking and poor visibility into containers. With monitoring data scattered across systems and engineers frequently SSHing into servers to diagnose issues, the team lacked a unified, real-time view to understand performance and network interactions.

They deployed Sysdig Monitor, which provided a dynamic topology view, real-time container metrics, and remote capture (sysdig trace). The platform was up across their datacenter in under 15 minutes, enabled quicker root-cause analysis without SSH, revealed network bottlenecks, and let engineers pinpoint a CPU spike to a specific process inside a container—delivering faster debugging, improved security, and proactive performance management.
