Companies often use 10 or more fragmented monitoring tools which causes inefficient workflows and issues that take a long time to resolve. A study found that 65% of enterprises use 10 or more monitoring tools, and 77% of application issues take over 5 hours to fix due to the lack of integration between tools. The siloed tools waste employees' time and company resources, and lead to poor user experiences and reactive performance management.

1. Monitoring
Meltdown
Multiple monitoring tools cost time,
money, and your sanity
Companies today waste too much time and money on fragmented tool functionality. Using various
tools for individual tasks and monitoring creates cumbersome issues and disjointed workflow. A
new Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) study shows the current state of monitoring tool
use, highlighting areas lacking support and opportunities for a streamlined solution.
Too Many Tools
65% of enterprises use 10+ monitoring tools throughout the company.
Because of the inefficiencies these silos create,
77% of application issues take 5+ hours to resolve.
Strain on Time and Resource
The limited integration that comes from using all these different tools results in wasted time and
lost employee focus, ultimately costing your company money—and your end-users often suffer
the consequences. The less these tools help, the more their usage falls by the wayside.

Although unified monitoring tools have come to market to solve this all-too-common problem,
only 13% of enterprises use one. So why aren’t more people adopting a monitoring
solution, and what are they looking for when selecting one?
