Scout APM
To me, it's the best APM out there for a Rails application. It is really easy to set up, configure and start debugging any kind of bad-performing endpoint. We have solved issues going from High Response Time to Memory Leaks/Bloats. All of this can be achieved even if you are hosting your app in a PaaS like Heroku. (Where sometimes is difficult to install an agent like in other vendors).

Scout APM
  • I specifically use the risk assessment module and do risk assessments on any new product we introduce into our network or any company that we are thinking about taking on as a client.
  • I also use the vendor management module for any due diligence that comes up with a new company or a company that we may use once and then not use again.

Cons
Blue Triangle Technologies
  • Since percentage change is used instead of a real-time shift in comparison charts, they are more difficult to read and evaluate quickly.
  • Unlike other website performance monitoring solutions, we are unable to compare data from different time periods.
  • The portal's interface may use some cleaning up.

Scout APM
  • Errors (is a new functionality but I didn't get well how it can replace rollbar for example).
  • Usage measuring: In some cases is easy to get "disabled" due to a peak of bad requests.
  • Editing app's names

I've already explained why this product beats Excel hands down in time and money. I also love the way it sends you an email when you forget any due diligence or testing that needs to be done.
