What do you like best about Apica?

Our company was looking for a monitoring tool without investing in hardware. We started using Circonus to monitor some of our equipment based on conditions that are defined by metrics and brokers and provide email and SMS for critical alerts to our administrator and support members. We use the data collected from Circonus record and review the health history of our equipment to evaluate and determine a course of action. We were satisfied with the product that we implemented with all our managed equipment as new equipment as our company grows. Circonus also provides excellent customer service that review our checks by simply providing the direct URL of our check and make suggestions to reach a resolution.

Overall, Circonus is a cloud-based monitoring tool that is easy to use, easy to implement, and easy to integrate. It eliminates the need to invest in and maintain your own hardware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apica?

There is not much to dislike about Circonus, it is a great monitoring tool, but it takes some time to learn how to customize and test it to meet your specific needs before putting it into production. Additionally, sudden updates and changes to features can sometimes require you to reevaluate your processes esp when training new support members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apica solving and how is that benefiting you?

For us, Circonus is an infrastructure monitoring platform that collects metrics from brokers around the world. It keeps our support staff informed of potential issues and provides insights into the historical health of our equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apica?

Considering my experience with Apica LoadTest, I can claim that one of its strongest characteristics is its capacity to mimic significant amounts of actual traffic in order to evaluate the functionality and scalability of web applications. It provides a variety of load testing options and is capable of handling challenging test scenarios with ease. Its user-friendly interface also makes it simple for non-technical users to create and run tests. All things considered, Apica LoadTest is a strong and trustworthy load testing tool that may assist companies in ensuring the best performance of their online applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apica?

Apica LoadTest suggests that one potential drawback is its pricing scheme. Although the platform offers a wide range of load testing options, some companies may find its cost to be a bit high, especially small firms or startups with tight resources. However, rather than smaller firms with lesser requirements, the platform might be better appropriate for larger, enterprise-level organizations with complicated testing needs. The platform's extensive feature set and capabilities may make the pricing reasonable, therefore these aspects may not necessarily be bad for all users. In the end, it comes down to the unique requirements and spending capacity of each company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apica solving and how is that benefiting you?

To assess the responsiveness, scalability, and dependability of their online applications, I usually used Apica LoadTest. To ensure that their web applications can handle high traffic counts and perform well under strain, businesses must load test their web applications. By simulating situations of high traffic, Apica LoadTest may help companies identify and fix any performance issues or bottlenecks in their apps before going live. This can help businesses prevent outages, slow performance, and other issues that might negatively impact both the experiences of their consumers and their financial results.

It's too early to say what I dislike, it's just a recommendation for Circonus to make the integrations easier and simplify so don't have to go through more readings to get it up. but also it comes more easily each time I contact their support. the support guys are extremely professional and very helpful.

What do you like best about Apica?

Ability to generate load tests across regions. This makes it easy to simulate "real" traffic against an application. It also is easy to get up and running with quickly. You can add load tests for your applications in a matter of minutes. It has many advanced features of course which you can spend more time on, but ability to get up and running quickly is nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apica?

UI interface/design is not very intuitive. Can be difficult to navigate throughout the various screens. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apica:

Overall great product, I would recommend for various use cases related to load and performance testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apica solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before using Apica, we had no good way to simulate real user load against an application. Applications would go live without any real load testing against them. This would result in the situation where the end users would be the ones telling us the application was not responding, was responding slowly, etc. Of course we would rather find this out before the application goes live and starts being used by end users. So Apica allows us to do this with a great set of load testing options, which we run the application through before it goes live. The benefits this usually results in is increased stability and resiliency across our portfolio of apps, and ultimately better customer satisfaction when applications are working as expected.

What do you like best about Apica?

Apica's ability to perform ping tests which helps in knowing if our services are up/down and its capability to execute full synthetic transactions are useful for any organization who wants to have their applications available 24/7.

Apica can be integrated seamlessly and easily with other monitoring tools like Datadog and PagerDuty to alert you immediately after a failure is detected in your application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apica?

Apica pings frequency should be a custom number rather than a predefine number. So if I want to have a check performed every 10 mins or every 24hrs I should be abled to configure that instead of predefined. Also the SSO page has to be redesigned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apica:

Apica synthetic is a great tool for monitoring and performing end to end transactions, it will help you know the issues before your clients report them, this helps in giving best customer experience and avoid surprises to your IT support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apica solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Apica to monitor and ensure our services are up 24/7, so we can potentially know the issue with our applications even before customers notify us. Its capability to fire transactions from across different locations in the globe is a great advantages for applications hosted globally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
