    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.

    It has strength in collecting information through SSH, WMI, Telnet, SNMP, http, https, MSSQL ports (several types of DB postgresql, db2, SAP MaxDB, HANA which we must monitor).The information it extracts is very useful to us since each type of monitor gives us visibility of what happens internally in them.The truth is that the needs that we have had during these years, ManageEngine Application Manager has been able to cover them especially with business core (ERP) with monitoring of SAP Server and SAP CCMS.

    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.

    • Plugin Quirks where it times out
    • Navigation through some of the screen seems a bit confusing
    • Consistency such as where license info is location between op and app manager are in different places. Better if it were consistent
    • Maintenance schedules in different locations in both Op and App manger product, needs consistency. They are all Zoho products!!

    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.

    The intuitive ease of the administration interface, the new features, improvements and security fixes that are quickly integrated with frequent updates. Tuning or more detailed reports associated with attributes of services, applications or containers that help us detect certain flaws in our services. The capacity for improvements that are implemented and the ease of integrating new monitors into the product, which we need, gives us the speed and ease of preventing interruptions or events that helps us avoid.

    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.

    Other solutions like Microsoft EM and SCCM can be interdependent and cause all sorts of issues and additional costs. I think software should be optionally integrated and work on its own as a standalone solution. I like that ManageEngine allows for specific use of its software and not forcing users into an unneeded license or contract.

    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.
