Has anyone recently transitioned from on to the other? If so, what was the reason?

In brief, SolarWinds provides scalability and intuitive interfaces but comes with a higher price tag, whereas Zabbix is more budget-friendly, supports cross-platform compatibility, and offers extensive customization options.

We need monitoring tools to take a step up and step forward.  Everyone remembers What's Up Gold and it's pretty basic Up/Down status.  While we're gathering more data these days, few systems are doing anything intelligent with this data except to present it to the users as simple metrics or to alert on thresholds exceeded, which is great, but not particularly intelligent.  Looking at the options, it seems to me that out of these four Zabbix is the only one to start studying the data it's gathering and indicate where you may have a problem in the near future and how long until you get to that problem based on baseline analysis.  Next Generation monitoring tools will need this ability to identify problems, bottlenecks, etc. faster.

Azure monitor is pretty good too! Can feed all the data into their SIEM and create alerts on security or network events!

Our organization is in a process of transformation towards agile software development methodologies. We use some SaaS-type applications and we would like to know how we can organize the work of an agile cell in terms of ceremonies, development life cycle, etc., with this type of applications assigned to a cell, if the interaction with the supplier is limited to requesting punctual adjustments and deliveries on agreed dates. 

I’m interested in connecting with organisations that have solid experience using Ariba Guided Buying. If your team has implemented it successfully or has best practices to share, I’d love to hear about your insights and lessons learned.

Are short term bans of the use of GenAI applications and tools (such as ChatGPT) a good idea for end users in most organizations? For context see this article on the State of Maine Government's directive before you vote: https://www.govtech.com/artificial-intelligence/chatgpt-generative-ai-gets-6-month-ban-in-maine-government

Yes - Maine did the right thing. There are too many security risks with free versions of these tools. Not enough copyright or privacy protections of data.29%

No, but.... - You must have good security and privacy policies in place for ChatGPT (and other GenAI apps). My organization has policies and meaningful ways to enforce those policies and procedures for staff.46%

No - Bans simply don't work. Even without policies, this action hurts innovation and sends the wrong message to staff and the world about our organization.19%

I'm not sure. This action by Maine makes me think. Let me get back to you in a few weeks (or months).5%
