Considered Both Products	Apica Verified User Engineer Chose Apica Seemed to work well, but we didn't want to do a long renewal. Other products are maturing and better integrated with our systems. It works for now, but we're looking to replace it. Update: New Relic has caught up with Apica and seems to integrate better with the other aspects of … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Apica We actually preferred IP HostMonitor over Apica Synthetic, as it was more stable and uses less real estate. IP HostMonitor does not support true load simulation, which we miss from the Apica Synthetic trials. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Apica I have used Microfocus loadrunner (formerly HP Vugen/BSM), Dynatrace Synthetic, and Gomez. Apica Synthetic has a good price point for its functionality. Dynatrace and Microfocus are expensive. Dynatrace and Gomez are easier to use than Apica Synthetic. Incentivized Helpful? BENAOUN Mahdi Software Developer Chose Apica Apica Synthetic is more efficient than other competitors; our main priority is gain in the effort, time, and customer satisfaction, which Apica Synthetic definitely guarantees. Real-time alerts are just perfect which is exactly what we need, I can't say the same about other … Incentivized Helpful? Sachin Kumar Senior SRC Engineer Chose Apica We were using different monitoring tools for different requirements (e.g.,Nagios and Checkmk for infrastructure issues) and we were in need of a tool for service and API monitoring for which we were using ThousandEye. But alerts were 60-70% valid irrespective of conditions like … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Apica Apica Synthetic is perfect for monitoring our products that customers use since we create scenarios and API calls that reflect how the customer uses our products. However, for server monitoring and monitoring internal products, both Zabbix and Prometheus have the upper hand. … Incentivized Helpful? James Dunn Jr. Senior Computer Operator Chose Apica I have never used other products that would stack up to what Apica Synthetic does for our company; other software that we use might help with giving different information but would not come close to the mix of monitoring and data we get from Apica Synthetic. The closest product … Incentivized Helpful? PS Prashant Saxena Rahul SRE Chose Apica App dynamics and ignite we used for monitoring perspective. We used these monitoring tools along with Apica dashboard monitoring. Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose Apica Apica Synthetic is more flexible when making custom checks. The support from Apica Synthetic can help you with nearly every check you have to do. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Apica As I use this for only my area, it is very well suited to what I need it to do. Apica Synthetic monitors two different web applications in a time interval that is easily customizable for uptime and latency. These are critical indicators for a cloud-based point-of-sale system. We need solid uptime and limited latency across the enterprise. Incentivized MM Michael McClanahan Senior Manager Enterprise POS Read full review
Pros	Apica Auto alerts trigger if any issue is identified Graphical representation of the health of applications Good product support from the team Incentivized SP Shivani Pandey Project Engineer Read full review
Cons	Apica It's very clunky. Infrastructure is large and very difficult to upgrade. SaaS and On-premise versions are different. There is an LDAP integration but users can only be assigned to one group (i.e. department). If you are in 2 departments, you need 2 separate logins. Update: they now offer federated logins It filled a gap in monitoring for us, but we're looking to move on. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Apica We trust the results that Apica Synthetic has achieved. Real-time alerting is critical to our clients and with limited resources, we can't handle many false positives; Apica Synthetic is the only solution that provides both of those features.

Usability	Apica As per my experience while using it. Thanks! PS Prashant Saxena Rahul SRE Read full review
Support Rating	Apica Apica Synthetic is very effective while configuring the account setup for any of the database/UserID. PS Prashant Saxena Rahul SRE Read full review
Implementation Rating	Apica Easy for implementation in our Infrastructure, Easy for troubleshooting the issue and Easy to use as well. PS Prashant Saxena Rahul SRE Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Apica We were using different monitoring tools for different requirements (e.g.,Nagios and Checkmk for infrastructure issues) and we were in need of a tool for service and API monitoring for which we were using ThousandEye. But alerts were 60-70% valid irrespective of conditions like network issues. But Apica Synthetic's alert mechanism is a perfect fit for our department. It helped us to reduce unnecessary/false alerts and a number of wrong tickets. Incentivized Sachin Kumar Senior SRC Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Apica My department is not charged for Apica Synthetic so no ROI, but from a customer service perspective, we can react to an outage and repair it faster than our customers can report the outage. Our vendor's own monitoring tools are not as accurate nor as timely as ours. They rely on us telling them, from Apica Synthetic, that they have an issue.
