The DevOps Migration Index 2025 - The Platform Migration Mirage: Massive Spend, Limited Returns

New research exposes how “rip and replace” DevOps migrations drain budgets, derail innovation, and rarely deliver lasting value.

CloudBees partnered with independent research agency TrendCandy to survey more than 300 IT and DevOps leaders across industries about their experience with DevOps migrations. Inside the report, you’ll discover data-backed insights into the financial, operational, and human impact of large-scale DevOps transformations.

The Migration Mirage: When Money and Value Don’t Align

57% of enterprises spent over $1 million on platform migrations in the past year alone, and 77% of projects exceeded budgets by more than 10%.

But those migrations rarely delivered the value they promised:

  • 38% delivered less ROI than promised to executive sponsors and boards.

  • Only 6% saw measurable improvement in resolution times.

  • 75% missed their time-to-value targets entirely.

The data reveals a clear disconnect between the promise of migration and its reality: disruption, overspending, and underperformance.
