DEX-specific, independently verified ROI metrics (for example, ticket deflection percentages or MTTR reductions with third-party methodology) were not located in public vendor collateral during this research run. Procurement teams should request customer references and require disclosure of methodology and baselines when vendor ROI metrics are presented.
Recommended buyer action: request DEX-specific references and documented measurement methodologies that specify baselines, measurement windows, device populations, and whether improvements were attributable primarily to DEX vs concurrent ITSM or process changes.
