Who was the most successful emperor of ancient rome besides Caesar?

If by Caesar, you mean Julius Caesar, the truth is that he was never an emperor of Rome. He was a dictator given his power under the republican form of government. Also, all Roman emperors were referred to as "Caesar" ( the Romans never used the word emperor). However the must successful ruler had to be Augustus as he had the longest reign, made progressive changes, and made his new form of government a lasting one.

What is the title of the rulers of Rome after Julius Caesar?

After Julius Caesar, the title of the rulers of Rome was 'Emperor'. Modern thinking generally refers to all the rulers of Rome after Julius Caesar (beginning with Augustus) as Emperors, because this is what they were. However, at the time they were referred to differently until later in the Empire. The title 'King', though considered by Julius Caesar, carried such strong negative connotations for the people of Rome that it was never used. Augustus Caesar titled himself 'Princeps' or First Citizen, implying that the Republic continued under this guidance. This title would be used for at least the next few Emperors as well. The name of 'Caesar' also came to be a title applied to all Emperors, long after the actual family of Caesar ceased to rule. The modern word Emperor comes from the word 'Imperator'. Imperator, meaning Conqueror, had once been an accolade for successful generals during the Republic, but after the Empire came into being it became a title solely reserved for the Emperor.

His full name was Gaius Julius Caesar. Gaius was his given name (praenomen) and Julius was the name of his gens, or clan (nomen). The third component of an ancient Roman name, the cognomen, could be a family name or a reference to the personal characteristics of the person who bore it. The word "Caesar" was an ancient praenomen that may be traceable to a word meaning "hairy".
