If you ask the experts, they will tell you that companies have too many IT tools for monitoring their environments. Monitoring tools for network, infrastructure, application, wireless, endpoint, cloud, etc. proliferate all organizations. According to research by Gartner, more than a third of organizations surveyed have more than 30 monitoring tools. More than half of organizations surveyed have at least 11 tools. Sounds like a good argument for IT tool rationalization. But is this really the case?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the rage these days. Everywhere you look, companies are promising to solve your ills by applying AI to whatever problem you’re trying to solve. It doesn’t seem to matter what area you are in; medical, research, education, technology, software or anything else. Someone, somewhere is offering an AI-based tool that will solve all your problems.
