About This Constellation ShortList™
Unplanned downtime is a nightmare for every IT executive. Long- drawn war rooms drain valuable resources and businesses lose opportunities and risk brand damage. Particularly with many choices and alternatives for any service, reducing churn by providing reli- able services is a top agenda for any digital business. Having siloed teams, siloed monitoring/observability tools, multicloud operations, hybrid locations, blend of legacy, shortage of skilled IT analysts, and new tools all add to the issue.
While a lot of organizations invest a lot of money in observability and monitoring solutions, still the incident triaging and resolution
is a very manual process in most organizations. A perfect system should consume alerts from multiple sources, identify the root cause (with the help of AIOps), route the incident and appropriate actions to the responsible resource, provide a detailed context and possi- ble solutions to the incident, and potentially automatically resolve the issue if possible. These systems should also be able to properly prioritize, based on business context and value, and assign/escalate the incident based on that. In other words, while observability, mon- itoring, and AIOps can help identify the incident and the root cause faster, incident management allows for resolving the matter quickly.
