Apica vs. Moogsoft

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.

Moogsoft is well suited in below scenarios - 1. If you are looking for a Event Management layer tools. 2. If you are looking for event correlations, suppression and enhancement feature before opening a ticket in ITSM layer tool. 3. If you are looking for enabling corrective actions even before opening a ticket at MOM layer and AI-ML capabilities in monitoring world.

• 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.

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.

As per my experience while using it. Thanks!

Apica Synthetic is very effective while configuring the account setup for any of the database/UserID.

Easy for implementation in our Infrastructure, Easy for troubleshooting the issue and Easy to use as well.

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.

Moogsoft has the similar capabilities as of SPLUNK, MuleSoft and ServiceNow however it's a unique product in terms of its internal functioning and application framework. While ServiceNow is a SaaS application Moogsoft on the other side comes with On-Prem as well as SaaS offering which gives pretty much flexibility in choosing the right solution as per the customer requirement.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Unique Event Handling and Management
• Situation-based event grouping
• Auto Remediation of issues using tight integration options
