Scout APM is the performance monitoring tool that we find most actionable. It's easy to drown in the data, rendering the tool useless. But Scout does a really good job of showing the right data that highlight the most pressing performance problems, so that you can use precious development time most effectively to fix them.

Their error monitoring service is not (yet) feature-comparable with other specialised tools like Sentry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It gives you all the tools you need. You can analyze application performance, background jobs, database performance. you get traces of real users using your apps or APIs, ... What's not to like? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing that could be improved is pricing. In my opinion, it's not up to par with some tools the bigger cloud providers have which do more or less the same thing. But, it's still worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to get it up and running.
Insights about N+1, slow queries, memory bloat
Very "digestible" for developers, low educational curve
Fair pricing compared to competitors

Only Ruby on Rails support. When we migrated from NewRelic to Scout APM, we had only one huge Ruby on Rails monolith. Currently we're migrating to a microservice infrastructure that includes different languages, technologies and Scout is not covering them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scout is easy for our team to use, provides clear insights, and has a reasonable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would have said that the design was a bit dated, but they've recently updated some of the UI so there really isn't anything I dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scout APM works very well and has done so for years and years now. When something changes in production I always check the ScoutAPM dashboard to see if there has been a change in Performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentation and Pricing could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how they have closely integrated Rails into the whole tool. Features such as the slow query and N+1 query suggestions are great to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They do not support JRuby. I've had to migrate a few apps away from them because of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Scout has helped us on many occasions by alerting us to performance probems before they become a major issue. When issues do come up, it helps us to pinpoint the exact problem so we can resolve it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The transaction limit means we need to sample requests to remain below the threshold. It would be nice to have higher transaction limits (perhaps with a lower retention time?) so we don't miss out on tracking important requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dev-centric performance monitoring for Laravel applications. Their service automatically collects insights about performance issues and alerts you & your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be nice if it provided MySQL index insights. Like missing, duplicate or bad indexes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that I can have both APM and errors in the same application. One service to rule them all! Their UX is splendid and always a pleasure to work with and the level of detail (insight) is spot on! As for the errors, they also are following that same high quality UX where things are easy to reason about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I honestly have no complaints, perhaps if I were able to make a wish, I'd wish for infrastructure monitoring. For now, however, it is more than enough to be able to trace everything in my app, see slow queries etc. System resource usage is the only thing thing that I don't have insight into.
