AIM Research defines GenAI Observability as the practice of monitoring, analyzing, and visualizing the internal workings of artificial intelligence, specifically generative models like Large Language Models (LLMs). In our analysis of the current market offerings for observability of LLM-powered generative AI applications, we found that vendor capabilities primarily focus on logs and analytics, evaluation, observation, security guardrails, and cost optimization. While a few of the vendors offer tools for end-to-end observability of GenAI applications, the majority of organizations offer tools for multiple components in the GenAI application stack.
While several leading players in the AI Observability market expand their offerings to include observability capabilities tailored for GenAI-infused applications, pure-play GenAI observability is also on the rise.
Penetration-Maturity (PeMa) Matrix:
The following parameters are considered for analyzing vendors who offer tools in the GenAI observability market.
1. Company Size: Larger companies often have more resources, but size alone does not guarantee the best solution or innovation in the niche field of Gen AI observability.
2. Geographical presence of the organization
3. Full-stack observability – Does the Company offer end-to-end observability? Offering end-to-end solutions is significant as it demonstrates the company’s capability to handle the entire observability process comprehensively.
4. How long has the company been offering Observability solutions? Experience in the observability market (considering non-GenAI markets as well) contributes to the company’s expertise and understanding of the field.
5. Recent activity: Company’s recent alliances (partnerships, M&A, Licensing), R&D, and marketing activity.
