When a critical system error struck at FIFGROUP, a leading financial services provider in Indonesia with over 200 branches nationwide, IT teams faced a frustrating race against time. Tracking down the source of the problem across their vast network was like searching for a needle in a haystack. Before WhaTap, identifying the root cause of an issue meant manually sifting through mountains of logs, a process that could take hours or even days, severely impacting productivity and customer service. 

"When an error occurred, we couldn't identify the root cause immediately," explains Ruben Manuel, Head of FIFGROUP's Information Technology Database & Middleware division. "We had to manually check application logs, debug them, and then analyze the database. This was time-consuming and resource-intensive."

FIFGROUP needed a solution that could streamline their system monitoring and issue resolution processes.  They found their answer in WhaTap.

WhaTap: A Game-Changer for FIFGROUP

FIFGROUP chose WhaTap for its compelling combination of powerful features, competitive pricing, and excellent local support. But the real impact came after implementation.

“After implementing WhaTap, we have significantly improved time efficiency and the process of handling issues in production has become much faster.”

For example, when a database query recently caused a system slowdown, WhaTap immediately alerted the IT team and provided detailed diagnostics, including the specific query parameters responsible.  This allowed them to quickly optimize the query and restore normal performance, preventing any disruption to customer service.

WhaTap's ability to retain logs for up to 10 days has also been invaluable. This feature allows for detailed debugging down to the query level, providing insights that were previously unavailable.

This substantial cost-saving contributed to a strong return on investment, making WhaTap an indispensable part of FIFGROUP’s IT infrastructure. Beyond cost reduction, WhaTap provided a scalable solution that aligned perfectly with the company’s growing operational demands, ensuring long-term sustainability and efficiency.

Ruben evaluated other solutions but found WhaTap to excel in two critical areas: real-time processing and in-depth root cause analysis. WhaTap's real-time capabilities allow the IT team to monitor applications and databases simultaneously, ensuring that any issues are detected and addressed immediately. This proactive approach eliminates delays caused by manual log reviews and provides actionable insights that streamline troubleshooting. 

The in-depth root cause analysis feature ensures errors are not just identified but thoroughly understood, empowering the team to implement targeted fixes and prevent recurring issues. These enhancements have significantly improved operational agility and reduced the time needed to resolve errors, enabling FIFGROUP to maintain seamless service across its extensive network.
