Key Insights and Trends in Infrastructure Monitoring
According to the latest Gartner report, “Advanced infrastructure monitoring tools employ data analytics and machine learning to enhance performance by enabling real-time insights, rapid diagnosis and troubleshooting.”
Gartner forecasts demand growth for infrastructure monitoring tools at 10.1% for 2025. We believe this will be driven primarily by the rising adoption of cloud-native architectures and hybrid IT environments. Monitoring solutions that seamlessly cover both on-premises and cloud infrastructures are becoming increasingly critical.
Another key trend is the growing influence of business leaders in the selection of such tools. Gartner observes that, “Business leaders are increasingly influencing tool procurement decisions, bringing top-down assessment criteria to decisions that have, historically, used a bottom-up approach. In such organizations, the focus shifts to qualitative measures, rather than technical depth and quantitative KPIs.”
Peter Stanjeck, Senior Vice President & Managing Director R&D at USU, states:“We believe that being included in the Gartner Market Guide confirms our strategic direction and commitment to innovative monitoring technologies. Our solution delivers powerful analytics and automation capabilities, helping companies enhance their IT operations and build resilient digital infrastructures. We focus on a holistic observability strategy, which, in addition to traditional infrastructure monitoring functions, includes AI-driven anomaly detection, real-time visualization, and intelligent alerting systems. These approaches help optimize IT processes and minimize operational risks."
