    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.

    We have been using TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics to help us troubleshooting issues with devices as it picks up not just CDR but other events that occur in the CUCM devices. They are currently making headway in capturing data from our Expressway Servers as we have several users working from home. This is an area in which not many tools out there to provide information we need as the expressways are a bit complex especially when being used in MRA. However, TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics is on track to be one of the first ones to get there. There is still a lot that Telemate has to offer however we are still in the process of getting all that set up on our side

    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.

    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.

    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.

    We evaluated several other systems and went with TeleMate Predictive UC Analytics as they had a broader range of tools. We started looking for a CDR product and found that they provided those needs and had much more

    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.
