If you are experiencing performance issues with your Reapit software, such as it running slowly, freezing or crashing, follow these basic steps to identify the likely cause of the issue you are experiencing.

Most issues tend to relate to your local environment (internet fault, increased network in your local office). Where this is the case, unfortunately, the Reapit Service Desk are not able to address these for you.


We are sorry that you are experiencing performance issues.

Is it just your Reapit software that is impacted?

  • This issue is most likely to be specific to your office/business

  • Contact your IT Support/provider for assistance



Expand
titleYes

It is common that only Reapit Agency Cloud is impacted, due to it being more sensitive to network performance than other applications; however, this does not automatically point to an issue/fault with your Reapit software


First, check real-time announcements on the Reapit Service Desk portal home page and also check the Reapit Services status page

    titleTroubleshooting Guide


    Nearly all cases of users reporting response times being less than expected, or not the usual standard, relate to their local environment (such as their internet connection or a high volume/workload report) and, as such, the Reapit Service Desk are not able to resolve this, as it is beyond the scope of their service.

    However, we can provide the following troubleshooting guidance below to help you rectify your issue. We also recommend the guidelines are followed by an IT competent member of your team.

    Troubleshooting guidance

    • Internet speeds can drop or increase
      While this is not uncommon, it is likely that you will notice this more in Reapit Agency Cloud than other desktop application; this is normal and is due to the extensive data processing that Reapit Agency Cloud undertakes


    • Time of day
      Do you note that the issue arises at a particular times of the day? For example, peak times, such as lunchtime, often result in high internet usage which can have an impact on its performance
      In this circumstance, you should ask your IT provider to look at the bandwidth capability you have


    • Speed test
      We recommend running an internet speed check using this website: www.speedtest.net 
      We suggest the following advised figures you should be looking for:

      Download speed: >=2.0 mbps
      This impacts how quickly data is refreshed to screen; large documents take longer to download

      Upload speed: >=1.0 mbps
      This impacts the upload of templates

      Having many users in an office with a lower download/upload capability will cause sporadic issues and will depend how many are users are working at the same time



    • Wireless router connection
      If you are using a wireless router connection to access, this could be the issue; faster performance can be assured over a physical network connection
      Where possible, try using a fixed (wired) connection to see if that increases performance; if it does, you should refer to your IT provider to review your wireless router setup


    • Wireless 4G connection
      If you have a wireless 4G connection and are experiencing performance issues, try a normal (non 4G) wireless router connection
      If the performance improves, then the issue will lie with your internet service provider; they can influence how the traffic is routed over the internet and therefore resolve your issue


    • Router reset
      Resetting your office network router will reset caches that may be impacting optimal traffic routing; this has resulted in correcting performance issues on many occasions
      If you are unable to reset your router, contact your IT contact/provider to carry out a reset


    • Access to specific IP addresses and ports
      You should check with your IT provider that there is access to the following IP addresses and ports to ensure that no throttling is being applied
      Provide this information to your IT or internet service provider or network team


    Please ensure that all the following checks (as outlined above) are completed before escalating a performance issue to the Reapit Service Desk, in particular:

    1. Speed test
    2. Wireless connection check
    3. Router reset

    Ensure that your network provider has reviewed this information and investigated any issues


    Still experiencing issues?

    The Reapit Service Desk will require information on your PC/machine specification:

    • go to your Windows Settings and access Device specifications
      (or Control Panel, System and Security, System)

    • Take down these details or, better still, take a screenshot of your device specifications

    • Send this to Reapit who will be able to investigate


    Still need to log a case ?

    Please ensure you let the Reapit Service Desk know

  • In what part of the RPS system are you having an issue and what you are doing at the time ?
    • ie Searching, adding an applicant / property record / Landlord run
  • Particular times of the day this occurs and if

    :

    • Where in Reapit Agency Cloud you are experiencing the issue
    • What time of day this is happening
    • Actions being taken at the time (e.g. searching, adding a property etc)
    • If others are experiencing the issue
    • If your RPS instance of Reapit Agency Cloud has been been recently upgraded recently




Expand
titleIf your issue is intermittent...

If you/your office experience intermittent performance at differing points in the day and/or with different areas of Reapit Agency Cloud, the issue is most likely to be local to your office/environment. Issues of this nature should always be logged with your IT Support/provider in the first instance.
