It's a good starter solution, but it was difficult to maintain. Often, the vendor wanted to use us as a guinea pig for upgrades and then writing the upgrade document based on what they found/broke/etc with our environment. I prefer late adopter.

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.

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.

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.

We are from the healthcare domain and we need our different URLs to be available 24/7, so it's important for us to get a tool that keeps on monitoring our services and APIs and automatically triggers an alert if something goes wrong. So Apica Synthetic can be very useful, as it triggers an alert, which is 98% of the time a valid alert. If URLs are not business critical, then instead of this tool, you can go for ThousandEye, which is also doing the same type of job but with less expense.

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.

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.

We were having an update for a few websites and, with Apica, I was able to see all the servers that were posted to go down for the updates, but then about five others went down that we didn't think were posted to go down. Turns out, a different team was also running an update without letting us know.
