Concerning rise in use of tools
Data and analytics are of course critical to CIOs, more than a third ranking their IT investments in it ahead of security and risk management this year, according to CIO.com’s 2020 State of the CIO survey.
What's interesting is that 42% of IT professionals report using more than 10 monitoring tools; 19% use more than 25 tools. That's not to speak of the 50+ tools they require for security! Sadly, the addition of tools is not fixing the issue.
An AIOps approach however is emerging. And it's saving spend on additional tools.
