Plans start with a transparent monthly rate. Your quote reflects database count, access rules, and support needs.

The bars show the cost difference in principle. Your proposal uses your actual environment.

Built for working teams

Everything an SMB needs, nothing they don't

Centralized database administration should reduce decisions, not add another system to babysit. Open a tile for the practical detail.

Multi-database monitoring

See MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server health in one view. Surface slow queries and unavailable services before a customer notices.

Secure remote access

VPN-less tunnelling and IP allowlists give distributed staff access without opening database ports to the public internet.

Backups and restore

Automated backup checks show the last successful run, retention status, and a clear one-click restore path.

Role-based logins

Give owners, developers, and accountants the access each role needs. Activity stays attributable to a named login.

Useful alerts

Choose Slack or email for performance alerts, then receive a weekly digest that keeps routine checks out of your inbox.

Simple onboarding

The setup wizard imports your existing connections, so your team can keep familiar tools such as DBeaver in its workflow.

Remote access, designed carefully

Work from anywhere, safely

Your Madison and Milwaukee teams can reach approved databases through a private tunnel. There are no open database ports waiting for attention.

A measured start

From chaos to clarity in days

You know your business. We map the database details and put the console in place.

1

Map the estate

A discovery call records databases, owners, dependencies, and access needs.

2

Configure remotely

Our Madison-based team sets up the centralized console, alerts, and access rules.

3

Train your team

Named credentials arrive with a focused 30-minute walkthrough.

4

Keep it healthy

Monitoring continues with quarterly health checks and practical support.

Clear answers

SMB database management questions answered

What if we use both cloud and on-premises databases?

That mix is common. We map each connection, apply separate access rules, and bring the health signals into the same monitoring view.

Can we keep our existing DBeaver setup?

Yes. Your team can keep using DBeaver for query work. Cooper Group adds administration controls and monitoring around the tools you already know.

Is my data ever stored on your servers?

The service is configured to monitor and manage connections without moving your business records into our storage. Your proposal will document connection paths and retention settings.

What happens if we need help after hours?

Monitoring alerts continue around the clock. Support routing depends on your plan, and Professional and Custom customers receive priority handling for agreed issues.
