EMA crafted a comprehensive 24-page questionnaire, gathering responses on hundreds of critical data points. These insights were used to evaluate and score each vendor across multiple key performance indicators (KPIs), ensuring a detailed and rigorous assessment.
LAFAYETTE, Colo., Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management analyst research and consulting firm, today announced the release of its new research, “EMA Radar Report for Network Operations Observability.” Shamus McGillicuddy, vice president of research covering network infrastructure and operations at EMA, evaluated the leading solutions available on the market based on defined key criteria for vendor selection and prioritization. The objective of the research is to provide purchasing guidance on the optimal network operations observability (NOO) solutions to meet an enterprise IT organization’s unique business requirements.
IT organizations need solutions that leverage advanced analytics, AI, and automation to go beyond monitoring. Vendors are innovating to empower their customers with actionable insights that allow IT managers to be more proactive with network management. This Radar reflects this evolution.
Network operations observability is a class of solutions IT organizations use to manage and monitor network infrastructure and services. Key use cases for NOO solutions include network discovery, monitoring, troubleshooting, and capacity planning. Vendors and customers also describe these solutions as network monitoring and network performance management tools. In recent years, vendors embraced the concept of network observability to communicate a more advanced approach to network operations tools, with an emphasis on providing insights and automation rather than simply collecting and presenting network data.
“The network performance management industry is very mature, but network operations observability represents a leap forward for this established market,” McGillicuddy said. “IT organizations need solutions that leverage advanced analytics, AI, and automation to go beyond monitoring. Vendors are innovating to empower their customers with actionable insights that allow IT managers to be more proactive with network management. This Radar reflects this evolution of the market.”
