Gigamon holds 50% share in deep observability market

Gigamon held 50 percent market share in the deep observability segment during the first half of 2025, according to a report published by 650 Group; the firm linked that position to an increased need for deep observability as organizations adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) across hybrid cloud infrastructure.

650 Group reported the deep observability segment grew 25 percent year over year in 1H25 and included a long-term outlook that projected a 29 percent Compound Annual Growth rate (CAGR) to nearly $1.7 billion by 2029. The firm described deep observability as an emerging segment within the broader observability market and forecasted that broader market at $13.4 billion in 2029, while a 2025 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey found that 89 percent of respondents agreed deep observability is a foundational element of cloud security.

Gigamon presented its Deep Observability Pipeline as a source of network-derived telemetry enriched with AI-powered insights spanning packets, flows, and application metadata to provide visibility into data in motion. The company said those capabilities supported detection of threats concealed in encrypted and lateral traffic, the resolution of network and application performance issues, validation of compliance, and reductions in operational cost and complexity; 650 Group also listed value-add decryption, filtering, and deduplication, plus probes and agents, among deep observability functions.

Organizations continued to adopt the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline as a foundation for securing and managing hybrid cloud infrastructure, and the report named vendors included in its analysis such as Arista, Kentik, Keysight, and Netscout alongside Gigamon. The 650 Group reported regional performance with Asia Pacific revenue up 38 percent year over year, and it projected cloud-delivered deep observability offerings would account for more than 90 percent of the nearly $1.7 billion in revenue by 2029; Gigamon noted it is used by more than 4,000 organizations, including 83 of the Fortune 100 and nine of the 10 largest Mobile Network Operators (MNOs).

“As AI adoption accelerates, deep observability has become essential to maintaining security, performance, and compliance across hybrid cloud infrastructure,” said Alan Weckel, co-founder and analyst at 650 Group.

650 Group projected a 29 percent CAGR and nearly $1.7 billion in revenue for deep observability by 2029 and projected that cloud-delivered offerings would represent over 90 percent of that revenue.
