Only 14% of organizations report having mature observability capabilities, and 99% still face challenges in implementation, according to Elastic’s 2024 Observability Landscape Report.
Observability promises to simplify IT professionals’ lives and enhance digital resilience for businesses. Fifteen years since coming onto the IT scene, observability remains a work in progress due to multiple reasons:
-
Distributed IT environments with disparate tech stacks are both the catalyst and roadblock for achieving centralized visibility.
-
The use case for observability is vast. But this wide scope leads to tool sprawl, resulting in data duplication and workflow inefficiencies.
-
Comprehensive data collection is vital for observability, but without a clear strategy, organizations risk collecting irrelevant data, overwhelming systems, and missing insights.
-
AIOps enhances observability, but with an unclear ROI, organizations are hesitant to implement it, while those who have done face reliability issues.
While centralized visibility, reduced MTTR, and improved business continuity represent one side of the observability coin, the other side reveals unpredictable licensing costs, data management challenges, and tool sprawl. If these challenges sound familiar, we want to hear from you.
We’re inviting IT professionals—including CIOs, CTOs, IT managers, developers, and IT administrators—to take our survey guided by five key questions:
-
Where are you now in your observability journey?
-
Where do you want to go?
-
What’s holding you back?
-
What’s your plan to overcome these challenges?
-
How can vendors help you?
Take the survey
By taking part in the survey, you will:
-
Be one of the IT voices that can shape the perception of observability for better.
-
See how your perspectives and concerns are articulated as meaningful questions.
-
Gain early access to the survey results, which will be out by early Q2, 2025.
