AI, training, and unified tools, DBAs can trade firefighting for high-impact, value-driven work

Dubai, United Arab Emirates — November 24, 2025 — SolarWinds, a leading provider of simple, powerful, secure observability and IT management software, has released its 2025 State of the DBA Report, which delves into the increasing pressure on today’s database administrators (DBAs) and reveals a clear disconnect between executive perception and DBA reality. The report draws on insights from over 1,000 IT professionals, including 500 executives and more than 500 DBAs.

As organizations manage diverse databases, multi-environment systems, and rising privacy demands, the DBA role has become both more critical and complex. A gap in expectations between DBAs and IT executives has intensified burnout, leading one in three DBAs to consider leaving their roles. Yet with unified tools, ongoing training, and a focus on strategic initiatives, organizations can empower DBAs not just to survive these pressures, but to become key drivers of innovation.
