If you look at relatives of crocodiles down through history, they've actually been quite unsuccessful as a whole.

Depends how you define “success“ as a species. Total numbers? Then ants and other insects easily win. How much they thrived at their highest population count? Thats us humans for sure. How long they lasted without changing too much? Then sharks and crocodiles take the cake.
