Splunk Named Leader and Outperformer in GigaOm Radar for Cloud Observability

Industry analyst firm GigaOm recently released its 2021 Radar for Cloud Observability report where it named Splunk the top leader and only “outperformer.” It’s truly an honor to debut as the industry’s leader in this analyst report for observability, the first piece of research that’s taken such an in-depth look at this increasingly important space.

Our top placement in the report reflects the investments we’ve made to deliver the best-in-class observability solution built for any stack at any scale. With Splunk’s Observability Suite, IT and DevOps teams now have a single, tightly integrated suite of products to monitor, troubleshoot and optimize any infrastructure, application and business process.

Observability: Officially More Than Just a Buzzword

As IT and DevOps teams strive to keep up with accelerating digital initiatives, increasingly complex cloud native technologies and ever-increasing customer expectations, observability has become critical to success.

Observability encompasses all of the activities we used to do in monitoring, like watching for known failure conditions, and extends it to support:

• Catching unexpected failure conditions and empowering IT and DevOps teams to quickly troubleshoot and resolve them
• The acceleration of code releases and business velocity
• Minimized downtime, improvement in system reliability, customer experiences and organizational adaptability

Not all observability is created equal. Our outperformer placement in the report highlights our differentiated capabilities and our commitment to bring them under one solution. According to GigaOm, “outperformer indicates a vendor that is making or is poised to make exceptional improvement and progress in the quality, scope, and appeal of its offerings. Outperformers are often set to produce potentially game-changing innovation that challenges expectations.” We’re thrilled to see our Observability Suite recognized for the capabilities every company should embrace when adopting observability — performant at any scale, sophisticated in-stream analytics for automated data correlation, analysis and directed troubleshooting, native OpenTelemetry support, and more.
