    IBM Watson AIOps is well suited for IT Asset Management tasks due to its insightful dashboard that leads our IT Team to track IT Asset usage/requirements in real-time. We have also enjoyed using the reports provided for IT Asset Management which we provide to our upper management team for predictive budgeting purposes. We found that IBM Watson AIOps is not as well suited for our Application resource automation as the tuning (aggressiveness) is not as tunable as we would like.

    - For small teams serving big organizations - it's a really simple tool to install and set up relatively quickly. - the new installer is also great - I don't have to understand what modules need to be installed; it's all streamlined. - The HCO Licensing allows you to run the Additional polling engines at a scale where the previous licensing model didn't. We can deploy APEs in locations now, which would not have been worth the investment in previously as there weren't enough devices in that location/region to spend the $$$$ on an APE License.

    IBM Watson AIOps stacks up well with Turbonomic because it basically is Turbonomic. IBM added Turbonomic's feature set into IBM Watson AIOps and we were therefore quite comfortable shifting to the re-branded version introduced by IBM. We do like the fact that IBM Watson AIOps includes the functionality of Turbonomic.

    Solarwinds has the best overlap of the two others I've mentioned - the other two tools (Datadog and Dynatrace) are great in their own way but Solarwinds is just good at everything; if I had to pick one tool of the above, it would be Solarwinds for the compatibility and ease of use, the other tools are more focused on being great at certain things while Solarwinds is the jack of all trades.
