SolarWinds has released its 2025 IT Trends Report, Fragile to Agile: The State of Operational Resilience. In partnership with UserEvidence, the report surveyed over 600 IT leaders across nine countries to explore how organizations define, measure, and build resilience in an increasingly complex IT landscape.

This year, the SolarWinds World Tour is visiting 23 cities around the globe. Along the way, it’s delivering product demonstrations, technical presentations, and valuable face time with both customers and partners.

The SolarWinds IT Trends Report is an annual, independent report exploring the challenges and strategies IT teams face to achieve operational resilience. The 2025 report was created in partnership with UserEvidence, who surveyed over 600 IT leaders. The survey focused on how respondents perceive their organization’s operational resilience and the underlying issues that affect it.

When these solutions don’t fix the issue, IT leaders are stumped. The truth is, we frequently underestimate the significance of the workflows and teams these tools are designed to assist.

The Big 3 Hyperscalers are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). As cloud computing has grown in popularity, they have each in turn discovered that the average potential customer really isn’t prepared for the massive mind shift needed to achieve a level of mastery comparable to their self-hosted computing environments.

Operational resilience is more than uptime. It’s the ability to respond, recover, and adapt to the daily pressures of complex systems, growing demands, and shifting priorities. For many IT teams, resilience isn’t out of reach, but it is harder to achieve than it should be.
