Scout Launches New Relic Alternative
- ericcholis 11y agoI've had an eye on this space for some time. Scout was pretty high on my list, but didn't offer a one-to-one comparison NewRelic. This makes the market more interesting.
- mattew 11y agoI'm using the server monitoring with StatsD integration pretty heavily and am pretty happy with it so far. I'm guessing the app monitoring is probably pretty well done based on how nicely the server monitoring works.
- Sujan 11y agoIt's a competitive $59/server/month. Nice. But: > We currently support Ruby 1.8.7+ and Ruby on Rails. We have a waiting list for other languages and frameworks. :/
- itsderek23 11y agoScout Founder (Derek) here. If you aren't running Rails, signup here and we'll email you when we support your language/framwork: https://apm.scoutapp.com/beta_invites/new https://apm.scoutapp.com/beta_invites/new.
- calebclark 11y agoJust Rails for now, or will Ruby in general work? We use sinatra.
- itsderek23 11y agoJust Rails right now - Sinatra is high on the list. We're testing it for our apps internally now.
- glynjackson 11y agoDo you have timeframes on other languages and how you are giving priority?
- pdeva1 11y agoDripStat offers a NewRelic alternative for Java/Scala and its only $20/server/month https://dripstat.com/ https://dripstat.com/
- yaiu 11y agoI hate this color scheme
- jordanthoms 11y agoInteresting - we're using New Relic and reasonably happy, but might give this a try. It'd be nice to get more concrete comparisons on features compared to them - New Relic is a pretty huge product and we use it for things like alerting PagerDuty based on error rates and response times as well as performance, and has lots of powerful reports etc. Ironically, one of the biggest problems with New Relic is that their interface is bloated and performs poorly :)
- chopete 11y ago>> Per-Request Pricing is also available. Estimate your bill >> REQUESTS PER MINUTE: 2 >> An average of 2 req/min is $20.00 per-month. That I see as one "big" innovation over newrelic. Why do you have to pay when servers are idle?
- frik 11y agoDo you support real-user-monitoring (RUM) and app monitoring? What are your plans for Java, PHP, Python support? The "Per-Request Pricing" is interesting, but it doesn't make sense for > 47 req/min.
