Scout Monitoring Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

Excellent integration with GithubGets expensive with higher throughput Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

May get expensive with higher throughput. Could be more helpful with reducing these costs with some sort of sampling tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very handy dashboard, helps you spot anomalies quickly like a bigger response time or crazy N+1 queries. Setup is really quick and easy, it integrates nicely with PHP/Laravel. The dashboard are intuitive, the customer success team will organise a chat to take you through everything and answer your questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The memory tracking isn't available in our current setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity to use in Rails applications. We didn't make any changes to our codebase and the tool was capable of get detailed metrics and show in a clear way. In a microsservice architecture like ours, helps a lot with requests info and background jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had a specific case where half of the time spent on the request was not categorized and show as AutoInstrument. This don't happens often but it's hard to debug without any kind of information of where to look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is there to say about ScoutAPM, it is a very friendly and always replies to queries promptly, the UI of the product is quite intuitive and in addition to that we were offered a demo in order to better understand how to best squeeze the most out of it. Definitely in the short amount of time that we've used it, it has already proven it's usefulness by giving us the opportunity to see part of the platform which were not performing up to the standard we expected, making it easier for us to make them better.

I would definitely recommend ScoutAPM, as I did with my boss, to everyone who is willing to have a better understanding of what is happening under the hood even out of office hours.

Hope this helps, have a nice day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We haven't been users for long, and so far we haven't found anything we don't like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to view the details of all the traces of a single endpoint and breaking down each trace (view, SQL, Redis, etc.) is very helpful. The slowest parts of your system can be found very quickly and effortlessly with Scout APM, which is essential to be able to do for a growing software business.

Additionally, I like that the dashboard is filled with a helpful interactive graph over a selectable time range. This makes finding new bottlenecks even faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The traces page should have far more options for filtering, and you should be able to search for traces with the slowest AVERAGE time, not just the slowest traces overall.

Additionally, it would be nice if there were easy ways to get additional details about slow areas of code -- for example, rather than knowing a "view" takes 50% of execution time, break down the parts of the view which take long. In other words, we would like more integration with our actual code in order to get more detailed information from the Scout dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI of the site is straightforward, the integration was simple and the docs are well laid out. The ability to add additional context was great and has helped us utilize scout across different platforms.

The support team has been great to work with. They respond fairly quickly and have clear answers for me, even if the answers aren't what I wanted to hear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The traces utility seems to be broken for a number of use cases. It struggles with Waitress as the server library which results in some traces lacking quality detail.

I have noticed that the Python agent doesn't have the same feature set as some of the other languages, such as Ruby. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple and easy to get a heads up view of the application I was monitoring. I was always able to get a good understanding of the application performance "parts" and address the issues as they arose. The database we use, MongoDB was not supported in the same way that Postgres or MySQL is which left the team with a blind spot in our analysis of performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think a closer integration with errors tracking would have been helpful -- it was hard to get a sense of the two, performance issues and errors reported in any cohesive way. I used a Thread profile from a past company to effectively see where the specific issues were at a ruby code level but I found no such thing in Scout Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to see a snapshot of memory growth, request times, and requests per second all in one place. It's super easy to use and see the timings for each section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasionally I need to get very specific about request timings and it will group timings based on the calling function and not the function execution when it is called from a view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scout let us take a look at performance trends for our endpoints and background processes over the course of time. Superimposing deployment information also helps us see whether performance degradation is correlated with a change in the codebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to have the same performance alerting options for background processes as we have for endpoints. On a couple of occasions, we've had performance problems with background jobs where having alerting would have helped us avoid some problems in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found Scout APM helps me get to the root cause of a problem faster than any other tool I've used. My experience with profiling tools has largely been with desktop stuff, so with profiling of .net applications and so on. But I've found that Scout in terms of profiling a web application, gives me the best insights fastest.

I also appreciate the built-in developer tooling that allows me to analyse problems outside of production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have sometimes found the custom instrumentation and profiling difficult to use, with results taking some time to filter through to the reporting app if they come through at all. I also found profiling of background tasks in a development environment can be difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
