"The monitor to rule them all"

5/5

What do you like best about Scout Monitoring?

Scout's ease of installation was an absolute breeze. I used it on my Ruby app; 30 seconds and a commit, some time pouring myself some coffee while the app deployed, and bam! I have an APM set up. The dashboard on the site was extremely easy to read and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scout Monitoring?
