The open-source tools that could disrupt the entire IT incident management market

JP Morgan software analyst Pinjalim Bora highlights that the rise of open-source platforms like Grafana Labs presents significant competition to established incident management tools like PagerDuty. This shift reflects broader trends in IT, with an explosion of new vendors in the incident response space. Bora notes, "The market has grown from around 70 offerings in early 2022 to over a hundred now, indicating vast growth in available solutions for enterprises looking to manage systems effectively."

Bora elaborates that Grafana Labs has introduced an open-source on-call solution that is free for self-managed and on-premise deployment, showcasing a significant trend towards open-source solutions in enterprise incident management. He states, "The progress in open-source tools is noteworthy, allowing organizations more flexibility and control compared to traditional commercial offerings, especially as funding in the sector continues to increase."
