In recent years, OpenTelemetry has cemented itself as the industry standard for collecting observability data in a consistent, easy-to-understand format. More than 40 observability vendors support OpenTelemetry (OTel), and many other applications are released with built-in support.
The technical benefits of OpenTelemetry are well established. Splunk’s State of Observability 2024 report revealed that OpenTelemetry enables organizations to access a broader tech ecosystem, meet data residency requirements, and more easily adopt modern cloud frameworks. But in the 2025 report, survey respondents revealed that OTel’s advantages are extending well beyond the observability practice.
This year’s report, which draws insights from a survey of 1,855 ITOps and engineering professionals, highlights this profound transformation. The data reveals how organizations leveraging OpenTelemetry are not only optimizing their technical operations but are also significantly impacting core business outcomes.
Read on to discover the top five ways OpenTelemetry raises the bar.
