The AI-Ops spending landscape is crowded. There are a significant number of legacy platforms and, to be respectful, I will not name the three or four three-letter acronym companies that are in there, but I have not seen them do anything remotely related to AI, ML or AI-Ops.

Companies are either acquiring small startups and rolling them in or saying “oh, our tool will suddenly do this all automatically” without actually doing the work. I've seen a lot of the traditional companies quickly add on a product without doing the requisite investment.

We tried to talk to some of those three letter acronyms and I think we're struggling there to get some real value out of it.

For AI-OPS to work, it needs to be purpose-built for the organization.

It needs to be bespoke to each company. Health care is going to be different than Uber, which is going to be different than a government or city government. You have to build different models for your client.  You can't take all this data, add some AI magic, and solve it like Harry Potter.

I've worked with a networking/security company (I will not name them) that claimed they have AIOPS, but in reality, they only provided a fancy dashboarding/monitoring pane, no ability to train and interact with the algorithm. In a few years, they will likely have those options, at the moment I am somewhat skeptical. There is another vendor that claimed they can do AIOS for cloudy resources... again not to the level I wanted. It generally you either have vendors that you need to invest a lot of time to train the system or who do not allow that at all. I still have not see something that is ready to go out of the box.

Without a doubt - Technical Debt! It's a ball and chain that creates an ever increasing drag on any organization, stifles innovation, and prevents transformation.
