Enterprise Survey Series: DevOps 2019

Dublin, May 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Enterprise Survey Series: DevOps 2019" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This brand new Enterprise Survey Series explores technologies and methodologies that are important to enterprise IT and development. This report, the first in the quarterly series, focuses on DevOps, and is an important asset for any organization looking to sell DevOps technologies, tools, and services to other companies, as well as for any organization that wants to automate its own processes through DevOps. Along the way, organizations need to get a sense of the current DevOps landscape, the tactics current DevOps users have embraced, and the challenges that these technical professionals face.

This survey is unique from other surveys as it gets to the bottom of the DevOps issues by looking at them from BOTH the developer and IT Manager's point of view. Using actual survey data from over 250 developers and 250 IT managers, the researcher presents in-depth data and analysis to inform your DevOps decisions. All results are presented in aggregate and then broken out by developer or operator answers so you can see the overall result as well as how the views of the two groups differ.

DevOps promotes and facilitates the coordination between the software developers who create apps and the operations personnel who deploy them, but as the newly released Data survey DevOps 2019 shows the two groups often have very different ideas. The survey of 250 developers and 250 IT operations professionals does show convergence in many areas such as continuous integration and application handoff, but very different viewpoints in other areas.

For example:

  • The greatest benefit of workflow management tools for IT managers is capturing end-to-end business data, while for developers it's building dashboards to visualize operational data
  • Fifty-eight percent of developers say they use tools not licensed or sanctioned by the IT team
  • While the majority in both groups say the development team has the go / no go decision in deploying a software release, 41% of IT Managers say it's the ops team - compared to just 22% of developers.
  • IT Managers are more likely to say that technical software challenges are the main source of frustration in automating a network, while developers think it's lack of a budget for new tools

While both the development team and operations are trying to develop, release and maintain applications in a large enterprise environment for the common good of their company, they are basically coming from different ends, said Janel Garvin, CEO, Automation tools are essential for efficient interactions between the two groups to ensure that they come together in collaboration rather than confrontation - that along with an understanding of where each is coming from.
