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.
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."
This EMA Radar Report evaluates the capabilities of 14 leading vendors in the network operations observability space. Designed as a comprehensive buyer's guide, it helps network infrastructure and operations teams assess products for managing the health and performance of modern digital networks. The report provides a detailed analysis of each vendor's market position, evaluating product capabilities, total cost of ownership, and overall vendor strength.
The information is delivered via an easy-to-decipher, detailed market map and Radar Chart, which includes a composite score for each vendor, making it simple to compare how vendors stack up. The report also dives into the methodology and evaluation criteria, incorporating a review of emerging customer needs that shaped the research. A comprehensive analyst writeup on each vendor is included.
While dozens of vendors offer network operations observability solutions, EMA focused on only the leading vendors in the market.
