User Testimonials
	Micro Focus AppPulse Suite (discontinued)	Scout APM
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products From my point of view, when we are working with a medium package project, this Micro Focus AppPulse Suite is very useful and effective at finding problems in our activities and codes and isolating them. But when we are working on large-size projects or backend performances, it works slowly to detect issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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).

Pros	Discontinued Products Monitoring user web activities from the user's point of view. Gives status details as clear dashboard formats. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Scout APM Rails instrumentation Segmentation by controllers and sometimes methods Detecting low performing endpoints Incentivized MG Mixer Gutierrez Group Technical Lead Read full review
Cons	Discontinued Products It's getting slow when we work with large projects. At first it's hard to find some features. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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 Incentivized MG Mixer Gutierrez Group Technical Lead Read full review
Support Rating	Discontinued Products Overall the support is good. Most of the hard situations passed smoothly because of the support team. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Scout APM No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic	Scout APM We have preferred Scout APM over Datadog due to: - Easy to configure and install on Heroku Platform (Datadog's agent can give some trouble when installing it on Heroku's Dynos) - Easy to monitor normal behavior and be actionable on endpoints who are out of normal - It has an easier pricing which facilitates to make predictions on budget Incentivized MG Mixer Gutierrez Group Technical Lead Read full review
Return on Investment	Discontinued Products With effective dashboard, it describes everything easily. Easy to setup and have some difficulties to handle. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Scout APM Speed to solve incidents Easy to monitor new endpoints or deployments Easy to monitor background jobs (like sidekiq) Incentivized MG Mixer Gutierrez Group Technical Lead Read full review
