In addition to being the top IT Operations Management provider, Splunk also recognized for the highest market share by revenue in the AIOps, ITIM and Other Monitoring subsegment.

Splunk is ranked No. 1 in Gartner’s Market Share: Enterprise Infrastructure Software, Worldwide, 2019 for Performance Analysis: AIOps, ITIM and Other Monitoring Tools category — capturing 16.5% of the overall market share*. 

We are honored to achieve this major milestone and believe that this is a direct reflection of our customers’ success. We are humbled to have the opportunity to thrive alongside our customers as they have embarked on a journey towards IT modernization and digital transformation. It is because of their trust and investment in Splunk that we’ve been able to think innovatively, execute maniacally and feel it is the reason we are ranked  No. 1. To us, this top ranking is a strong validation that we are delivering market-leading solutions that address their performance analysis needs. 

We’ve listened attentively to what our customers’ IT teams struggle with — too many disconnected tools creating unmanageable alerts, too much time spent in overcrowded war rooms. Too many headaches trying to pinpoint root causes and resolve issues, and too much risk to revenue and brand reputation with each outage or performance degradation. We were determined to not just alleviate these issues but actually eliminate them altogether. By understanding these challenges, we set out to deliver strategic solutions that effectively bring results to our customers. 

As recognized in Gartner’s report, Splunk’s growth has been fueled by strong quarterly customer acquisition, as well as having existing customers grow and expand their IT use cases with Splunk. We’ve helped our customers deal with the massive explosion of volume and variety of data in their IT systems, and by allowing them to push all that data into Splunk, we’ve given them an integrated and powerful set of capabilities to successfully modernize IT. As applications become more distributed, there’s a need to monitor and collect data (from logs and metrics to traces and other sources) into platforms like Splunk. By giving customers visibility across their entire IT stack, they are able to spot trends, identify issues, resolve problems and accelerate outage investigations. Splunk uses AI and machine learning to minimize event noise and complexity through automated event management and workflow orchestration — focusing on what’s important to the organization. Our solution delivers business-critical insights and predictions so teams can stay ahead of service degradations, resource constraints, and system outages. And with improved on-call experiences, our customers are empowered to collaborate better and drive agility with responsiveness. Splunk’s portfolio which includes Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud, Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI), SignalFx and VictorOps bridges the gap between traditional and cloud-native IT — which has resonated well with the many organizations trying to balance the two. What our customers have achieved has been revolutionary for their business: fast time to value, simplified toolsets, visibility without silos and the power to predict and prevent problems before they even occur.

AIOps In Practice

Splunk customer Cox Automotive uses their data to take action and accelerate resolutions. They were constantly dealing with uptime and application instability during its auto auctions and were frustrated with the lack of visibility into why incidents kept happening. With Splunk’s AIOps solution, Cox Automotive was able to significantly decrease incidents by 90% and drive down mean-time-to-investigate (MTTI) and mean-time-to-resolve (MTTR). Splunk IT Service Intelligence with proactive alerting has sped up troubleshooting — rapidly identifying issues and minimizing auction disruptions. With Splunk, Cox Automotive can now predict outages in advance and monitor equipment degradation for proactive replacement.
