Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Apica Synthetic is our main tool to monitor applications and data threads. It's used all the time by our full-stack development department. We are very satisfied with the features they provide. It can serve as a website troubleshooting solution or simply for providing analysis and metrics. Plus, it's easy to integrate with our other tools like Google Analytics and Selenium.
Pros
  • TroubleShooting
  • Analysis
  • The mechanism of alerting
  • Monitoring
  • Easy integration
Cons
  • Documentation
  • License cost
  • Customer Support
Likelihood to Recommend
A great solution to monitor apps and services. It's a great asset for businesses that need to monitor traffic from/to their websites and [the] real-time alerting is critical. [However, it is] less appropriate for small businesses whose needs don't depend on traffic analysis and don't like to invest in a relatively expensive APM.

Great software, not a great for enterprise

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Apica Synthetic for networks, servers, and application monitoring for the performance and availability of networks, servers, and applications.
Pros
  • Automated network device discovery
  • Network monitoring
  • Alerts
  • Customizable reports
Cons
  • Reports are a bit clunky to build
  • Difficult to scale for enterprise-wide monitoring
Likelihood to Recommend
It allows us to know if our services and applications are up/down. It's great for specific and local end-point monitoring, not so great for enterprise monitoring. Its value lies in being able to simulate real user load against an application or service.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is being used in our North American region to monitor many applications. My knowledge is specific to our POS implementations. We use it to monitor uptime and lag time for several applications relevant to our SaaS POS systems. It allows us to react when there are issues and to provide feedback to our POS vendors of issues we are seeing. We have one specific application which is near EOL and has been highly problematic this last year. Apica Synthetic provides us with a rapid indicator of a problem much sooner than just waiting for our customers to call in. We can generally alert the vendor and they can fix the issue prior to most of our customers being impacted.
Pros
  • Apica Synthetic provides timely (as defined by us) indications of an application's uptime.
  • Apica Synthetic provides easy-to-read-and-use reports and graphs.
Cons
  • I am not sure, but it used to be that certain browsers were not supported. It needs to support all browsers.
  • I would like the ability to drill down to a more detailed second-by-second review of an incident.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Apica Synthetic is being used by one of our clients for monitoring the infrastructure of their silver and bronze applications. We are monitoring Linux and Windows servers as well as VMs. It helps us ensure that all the servers are up and running and reduces the number of disruptions that impact the business and application workflows.
Pros
  • Auto alerts trigger if any issue is identified
  • Graphical representation of the health of applications
  • Good product support from the team
Cons
  • UI can have options for ad-hoc-based monitoring
  • More options to export data in the form of reports
Likelihood to Recommend
Apica Synthetic is well suited for project requirements where synthetic monitoring needs to be performed on different servers. It has the ability to identify the issue then trigger auto alerts for the remediation to take effect.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it as product monitoring. We use it to simulate how customers use our products, with both web scenarios and more advanced API calls and some other scenarios. That way we know exactly where to look if something is not working. We also do this so we get the useful SLA information.
Pros
  • Monitoring
  • SLA
  • Troubleshooting
  • Response times
Cons
  • GUI
  • Easier learning curve
Likelihood to Recommend
I do recommend it in a lot of cases; however, it's pretty hard to learn how to be an advanced user. If there are more simple alternatives for monitoring, troubleshooting, SLA reporting, I would recommend the user use something else. However, it's a powerful tool when given the right amount of time to learn it.
