Monitoring API Usage

Is anyone heavily leveraging the API or leveraging it to integrate with their CRM > Marketo?

Marketo does not provide a dashboard or report in the UI where API usage can be monitored. Im curious to know if anyone has had issues with exceeding the limit or monitoring/managing applications that could possibly exceed this limit.

How is everyone else dealing with this limitation? Any clever workarounds?

Are you referring to the API limit in your CRM? I'm assuming you are using Salesforce. We ran into this issue, but it was a combination of third party solutions and our own applications API calls that was pushing us over the limit. We ended up having to pay Salesforce to upgrade to a higher API limit.

Speaking of Salesforce limits, we recently overran our storage limit (a measly 1 GB) and Salesforce charges an exhorbinant amount for additional storage. One of the big culprits I found was actually Marketo. We were synching some of the "interesting moments" over to the Salesforce task object and that accounted for a huge percentage of our total storage. I ended up turning off all of the interesting moments synching because we have Sales Insight and that displays all of the info as well. I then purged all those records from Salesforce to get us back inline. Something to think about if you are worried about limits.
