ETR Insights presents a panel discussion with four experienced global IT executives from the ETR Community. The panel was designed to capture feedback and additional insights related to our recent Observatory report and accompanying data set on Project and Work Management tools.

In addition to consistent syndicated data offerings and market research analysis, ETR excels in our custom work, executing hundreds of custom projects for both our Financial Services and Enterprise Tech clients. This week, we highlight an example of a study on the Enterprise Performance Mgmt. (EPM) market. 

The AUG24 Emerging Technology Survey (ETS) has closed with ~1350 IT decision makers submitting their responses tracking evaluation, utilization, and churn metrics for 400+private companies and technologies. This survey saw participation from 1349 IT decision makers, including 212 Fortune 500 and 306 Global 2000 organizations. Among the survey respondents, 25% hold C-suite titles, with another 50% of respondents at the VP / Director level. Finally, 59% are from Large organizations, and 41% are from Midsize & Small organizations.

This article will track the Evaluation and Utilization rates, but the full report also tracks Churn metrics, as well as the highest and lowest overall Net Sentiment and Mind Share vendors. The report is riddled with ML / AI and Security vendors and should not be missed. 

ICYMI: the ETR Observatory report and data set for Cloud Data Warehouses are now available. Backed by proprietary survey data, vendors are positioned in Leading, Advancing, Tracking, or Pursuing vectors according to Momentum and Presence in the market. The plotting of the vendors in the subsector is based on direct customer utilization, not opinions or vendor influence. ETR’s Observatory for Cloud Data Warehouses focuses on enterprise-grade, cloud-based, full-featured products in this market that specialize in supporting structured data, which includes cloud data warehouses and cloud lakehouses. We see data warehousing products from the three big public cloud platforms, as well as cloud data warehousing giants Snowflake and Databricks, dominate the market, but cloud offerings from established mega-vendors are also making waves. This summary offers key highlights.

ETR recently ran another survey iteration to assess the possible impact of strong emotions in our first CrowdStrike outage survey, repeating all five questions from one month ago. On top of this, we asked new inquiries about the past few weeks, including alternative vendors evaluated and compensation for operational impacts. Like our flash survey from July, nearly three-quarters (73%) of respondents are from large organizations, including a quarter (25%) from Global 2000 firms. Of 100 total respondents (roughly 2/3 are repeat respondents from July), 98 cited impacts from the failure. All but one are still using the Falcon platform, which is unsurprising given the complexity, time, and cost involved with replacing an endpoint security vendor.
