Scout does a fantastic job with all of the modules and it is easy to navigate. A nice addition was the cyber security module. I can not think of a less appropriate scenario.

Pros
  • 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
  • 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

Alternatives Considered
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
