OpsRamp Study Finds That Built-in Monitoring is Most Important AIOps Feature

OpsRamp, the digital operations management leader for enterprises and managed service providers, has released the results of a new study on the state of AIOps technology adoption and development. Built-in monitoring/native instrumentation ranked as the most important feature of an AIOps solution, cited by nearly 55% of respondents. The study concludes that AIOps is delivering real benefits for enterprises and MSPs, even as two-thirds of respondents have concerns about how accurate the data going into their AIOps systems is.

The OpsRamp State of AIOps 2023 study, which was conducted in December by a third party research firm, includes input from 265 respondents who work at the general manager, director or vice president level at enterprises and MSPs in North America, Europe or Asia Pacific. All respondents have budget decision-making responsibilities for IT monitoring tools, and work at firms with at least $25 million in annual revenue and more than 500 employees.

With the global economy facing headwinds on multiple fronts including inflation, the cost-of-living crisis, higher interest rates and war in Ukraine, both enterprises and MSPs are focused on improving IT efficiency and automation in 2023. MSPs cited improving operational efficiencies as their No. 1 challenge to achieving steady growth and profitability, while enterprises pointed to automating as many operations as possible as the biggest need or challenge they were trying to overcome in 2023.

AIOps is the Ticket to Better Automation

While more than 60% of respondents were adopting AIOps to improve service and application availability and performance, the second and third top choices were for automation of operations (58%) and processes (54%). Meanwhile, the greatest IT operations challenge for enterprises in 2023 was automating as many operations as possible, cited by 66% of respondents. Yet barely half of respondents (52%) cited automation of tedious tasks as their primary operational benefit of AIOps, trailing reduction in open incident tickets (65%) and reduction in MTTD and MTTR (56%). Improvements in automation are clearly top of mind for enterprises and MSPs in 2023.
