Businesses are are adapting IT strategies, reprioritizing cloud adoption and automated database monitoring due to the effects of a global lockdown, remote working and a focus on business continuity, according to Redgate.

The report, which surveyed nearly 1,000 respondents in April 2020, reveals that while performance monitoring and backups remain the most common responsibilities for database professionals, managing security and user permissions have leapt to third and fourth place, respectively.

With many businesses like Twitter announcing that remote working will become business-as-usual in the future, the report highlights why effective, reliable monitoring of database estates is critical to business longevity.

Perhaps as a consequence, only 18% of respondents continue to monitor their estates manually, and for those who are managing 50 instances or more, the number using a monitoring tool rises to 90%. Cloud migration and monitoring are the biggest challenges.

Third-party monitoring tools reduce Mean Time To Detection of deployment issues by 28%, and Mean Time To Recovery by 22%. Satisfaction with monitoring tools is at an all-time high.
