Case Study: NetProspex achieves rapid query insight and reduced DBA overhead with VividCortex

NetProspex - Customer Case Study

NetProspex is a Waltham, MA–based data company that curates marketing data to help B2B customers better segment and target audiences. As their platform and server count grew, a single DBA struggled to manage massive incoming data and diagnose production slowdowns—Nagios and MySQL Enterprise Monitor lacked the deep, cross-server query visibility needed, causing delayed performance problems and costly, time-consuming investigations.

NetProspex evaluated alternatives and selected VividCortex for its MySQL-specific query intelligence. The hosted, lightweight solution immediately exposed slow or inefficient queries via TCP-level capture and advanced analytics, letting the DBA pinpoint and fix issues (indexing or query tweaks) proactively. The result was fewer slowdowns, faster deployments, lower infrastructure overhead and less DBA/developer time spent troubleshooting.
