Here’s an example of the monitoring landscape from a large traditional enterprise that was shared with 
me recently. They had 40+ monitoring tools, 1000+ applications, and were generating ~200,000 events/day. They were using CA Spectrum as their Manager of Managers and, due to scalability and integration restrictions, Spectrum was only ingesting ~30,000 events/day from just Splunk, Keynote, and Solarwinds.
This is only a 15% event coverage!
So how was this setup working for them? Well, they shared that 7-9% of their incidents were detected by their tools, and the rest were detected by customers. You can imagine the issues they faced with SLA violations, revenue loss, and increasing IT costs.
For a deeper dive on this subject and how to fix it, I’d recommend reading Fed Up with Legacy Monitoring Tools? It’s Time for Composable IT Monitoring, by Jason Bloomberg of Intellyx.
