    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).

    With the introduction of API-based event alerts, there is no need for a proxy, which is a good option. Its ability to manage infra on a real-time basis is a good option that helps monitor, administer and troubleshoot virtual machines.

    Pros
    Scout Monitoring
    • 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.

    • Shows us where we can save on cost of keeping machines running, or boosting resources on VM's
    • the ability to plan deployments with scenario plans that can be customized over a specific timeline
    • reports that can be sent and shared with different teams or departments

    Cons
    Scout Monitoring
    • 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

    It has a good GUI to monitor real-time logs for cloud applications. This is quite a useful tool and preferred over most of the competitive applications in the market.

    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.

    SCOM was quite overwhelming when we first set up a POC for it. There was just too much for one person to handle. With vROPs I can manage the product and provide the support needed for my environment. We also have a Solarwinds environment that provides us with a level of detail and alerting we have come to rely upon. vROPS takes it to another level because it links directly into vCenter to provide you with a complete picture of your virtual environment.

    • We believe that the ability to preplan deployments with vRealize has proven its return on investments.
    • Our troubleshooting time has been reduced with vrealize because its constantly collecting performance data. typically vrealize will tell us cause of fault before we can determine it ourselves.
