What differentiates Apica Ascent from other similar products?

The features available in Zebra Tester, the portal, along with the ease of use made Apica stand out from other products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Our favorite aspects of Apica’s products are their ease of use and great support from client services.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are a couple of mobile applications we have that are very challenging to perform performance tests against. Apica has been great at helping us run tests, it would be nice if running tests against the applications on the devices was more intuitive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Invest in the additional hours when implementing the solution. It will help get things up and running faster and Apica is really great and review what they done so you have a level of training before you start creating performance tests on your own.
