EMA Builds on Success of 2010 Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM) Radar Report with New Edition
Boulder, CO. (PRWEB) November 19, 2013 -- Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced the release of its newest EMA Radar Report titled, “EMA Radar for Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping (ADDM): Q4 2013.” Created to assist IT professionals in selecting the right ADDM products, EMA has identified the leading vendors in this space. Selections were based on key criteria defined by EMA VP of Research - IT Megatrends, Analytics and CMDB Systems - Dennis Drogseth.
The ADDM market is evolving rapidly, and in multiple directions at once. In response, vendors delivering ADDM capabilities are seeking to be more responsive to a broader set of constituents, requirements, use cases and roles than ever before. This includes requirements emerging from internal and external (public) cloud, the extended enterprise across ecosystems, agile applications development and DevOps, and a dramatic upswing in currency, ease of deployment and modularity.
Since ADDM is fundamentally an enabler, it’s important to understand the leading values in terms of use cases that it can support. The three use cases represented in the EMA Radar are:
Change management and change impact optimization
Service impact and performance management
Service-aware asset management
The ten vendors featured in this EMA Radar - AppEnsure, ASG, BMC, HP, IBM, ManageEngine, Neebula, OpTier, Riverbed and ServiceNow - are collectively and individually reflective of the richness, diversity and innovation seen in the ADDM space. Given this, EMA has made its categories reflective of two interrelated by distinct groups. Foundational or multi-use case ADDM solutions are represented by offerings from ASG, BMC, HP, IBM, and ServiceNow. Performance-optimized ADDM solutions, some of which approach multi-use case in diversity of function, include AppEnsure, ManageEngine, Neebula, OpTier and Riverbed.
“ADDM is a dynamic system of relevance showing how and where application, infrastructure, assets and business values come together—how they are interdependent and where,” said Drogseth. “As such, I believe that ADDM will evolve to become a transcendent capability that holds the potential to redefine the service management market over the course of the next five years.”
The results of this cross-functional study identify key strengths and weaknesses and highlight the characteristics of each vendor’s solution. Results are summarized in a detailed market map and Radar Chart – which includes a composite score for each vendor – making it simple to see which key functionality each vendor supports and how they compare.
