Further, the research vice president said that IBM Concert can be compared with observability offerings from vendors, such as Dynatrace, Cisco AppD, Splunk Observability Platform, and New Relic.
Amalgam Insight’s chief analyst Hyoun Park, on the other hand, thinks that IBM Concert superficially has traits that are common with IT asset management offerings. However, the chief analyst also pointed out that the level of governance provided by Concert makes it more akin to a control pane for maintaining an optimal usage, support, and compliance environment for every application.
IBM claims that Concert will initially focus on helping enterprises with use cases around security risk management, application compliance management, and certificate management.
Additional risk use cases are planned to be introduced over time, as well as other focus areas like cost, observability, security, and networking among others, Lobig said. IBM has not clarified how an enterprise can subscribe to the offering and how to access it. However, it is providing a page to sign up for the offering as part of a waitlist program.
