Companies use observability tools to provide visibility and enable key functions such as security, operational efficiency, capacity planning, customer support, and increase development velocity. As code comes together from more sources -- open source, AI-generated, commercial solutions, and systems integrators, the typical applications, databases, and networks, and into cloud and container environments, microservices, and the developer pipeline - something barely half of companies can do today. With the plethora of fragmented tools - 72 percent responded that more than six observability tools - companies need to gain visibility not by consolidation that would hurt productivity, but by creating consistent definitions of reliability and expectations for various services.

Key Points:
