Scout doesn't get in your way. It shows you the information you need so you can focus on the task at hand without being overcomplicated.

Scout automatically tracks web requests, but any sort of background transaction too without having to manually instrument or think to add tracking. When setting up a new message consumer, it was easy to identify what was taking the longest in both the common and edge cases. Profiled sample tracebacks made it straightforward to look into what specifically was making the consumer slow sometimes Their interface is intuitive and easy to figure out, more so than NewRelic, which I have also used..

Scout has allowed us to identify performance hotspots in our application, including slow code paths and memory bloat. Before Scout, I was using a number of command-line tools that worked ok, but took a lot more effort and didn't present the data in a very clear way. With Scout, I can see at a glance where the problems are and how to begin fixing them.
