About the DevOps Experience Conference


The following includes content from the conference website:

As we stand poised to move beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, we are on the edge of what could be a giant leap forward. The world has come to see and recognize the power of digital transformation. Digital transformation is driven by software, and software is accelerated by DevOps. Cloud native computing has served as a catalyst to the DevOps, software, and digital transformation cycle. Now after perhaps 4-7 years worth of digital transformation progress compressed into the last 18 months concurrent with the pandemic, and with favorable capital markets and business outlook on the horizon, we are poised for a generational leap forward.

As we look forward to all of the great things this transformation enables, we also have to be ready to tackle tough problems like cybersecurity threats, future pandemics, and more. DevOps can be a powerful force for change in all of this. In its 4th year, this year's DevOps Experience will explore how DevOps will be a major factor in the "roaring 2020s."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Did the assessment review free, paid, or both free and paid versions of the tools? A: The review assessed only paid versions of products in order to evaluate their complete set of features and full potential.

Q: What factors were assessed? A: The review assessed six factors: features (weighted at 3x), integration and scalability (weighted at 1x), workflow and automation (weighted at 1x), easy to learn and use (weighted at 3x), cost (weighted at 1x), and support (weighted at 1x).

Q: Why were two factors — features, and easy to learn and use — weighted more heavily in the assessment? A: Those two factors were prioritized by weighing each at 3x due to their fundamental role in user adoption and experience.

Q: What was the rating scale? A: The numerical scale was 1-5, with 5 being best. The report also included star ratings, which represented the respective rounded score. For example, a score of 3.833 rounded to 4, so 4 stars were shown in that case.

Q: Why did none of the tools receive the overall rating of five stars? A: The evaluation employed a rigorous set of criteria and had very high standards for what would constitute a five-star rating. As described earlier, the overall score was comprised of six factors. For those constituent factors, some products scored the maximum of 5.000, which translated to five stars. For the overall score, however, none of the tools received a score which would be equivalent to five stars. Monday(dot)com received the highest overall score; it was 4.003, which translated to four stars.

Q: Is there a qualitative analog (such as 'good' or 'great') in addition to the numerical scores and star ratings? A: Adapted from IGN's rating system, a supplemental scale for this review is delineated as: 'awful' 1.0 to 1.5, 'bad' 1.6 to 2.0, 'mediocre' 2.1 to 2.5, 'okay' 2.6 to 3.0, 'good' 3.1 to 3.5, 'great' 3.6 to 4.0, 'amazing' 4.1 to 4.5, and 'masterpiece' 4.6 to 5.0. The overall scores for tools in this review ranged from 3.180 to 4.003. Overlaying the overall scores on the supplemental scale, ten tools are 'good' and five tools are 'great.'
