Streamlined Observability: Monitor, Optimize & Scale with a Unified APM Platform

The Gartner1 APM and Observability report can be used to rapidly define the functionalities to be included in a selection process and shortlist the right solution. Changing client demands, which are influenced by modern architect, mean that modern solutions for APM and observability now offer functionality in a range of areas, including networks, security and integrations with modern agile practices (DevOps and SRE).

This approach enhances operational efficiency and security monitoring in cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. To maximize value, organizations should focus on essential APM features while cautiously adopting advanced capabilities like AI to avoid unnecessary costs and complexity.

According to Gartner, “Many leading vendors now operate as an observability platform, providing a converged, consolidated system that allows a single interface for all observability needs. Organizations need scalable monitoring solutions as they adopt new technologies. Not only should the solution provide visibility across on-premises, hybrid and multicloud, but it should also support complex and dynamic cloud-native environments.”

Discover more about our key takeaways from the full report:

  • Core vs. Differentiated Features: The report highlights a layered approach: start with core functionalities like log monitoring and infrastructure tracking, and consider adding advanced features like AI-based analysis only when your organization is ready.
  • Future-Proofing with AI and Automation: AI-driven root cause analysis (RCA) and anomaly detection are increasingly promoted by vendors as game-changing. However, success with these features depends heavily on the quality of the organization’s telemetry data, and achieving value here can take time.
  • Feature Overload and Complexity: With so many vendors offering similar core features, APM tools are now competing on high-level differentiators like AI, and seamless integration with modern practices like DevOps and SRE.
  • Platform-Based Integration: The reports talk about how to prioritize vendors offering a platform-based approach to APM and observability where the solution offers an integrated user interface, consolidated functionalities and integration between components.
  • New Priorities for Buyers: SRE practices are becoming critical factors in the decision-making process for APM solutions. Vendors that provide strong support for service-level objectives (SLOs) and integrations with modern architectures are gaining attention.
