Cloud cost visibility has improved and workload assessments now support stronger business cases
I am looking forward to more workload observability. The second thing is mostly looking forward to know cost optimization and how we can be able to manage multiple hyperscaler workloads from a single platform. I am looking forward to a monitoring solution that can monitor all hyperscaler services because AWS does have their 250 plus managed services offering. We have workload running in Kubernetes, Docker, EC2, RDS. I need a single platform that will monitor all these services which are being running in the cloud platform. Customer support is good. Whenever I have interacted with them, I got the required response from them. That is pretty much good. The organizations that are looking forward and have enterprise grade workload running in their public cloud platform, I would definitely recommend them to start using CloudAware because that is going to bring in value addition for them which they might not be aware of while using by themselves.

Solution architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.
