We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Multitenant based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are with the industrial side."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its compatibility with IBM Power Systems."
"The most valuable feature of the IBM Db2 Database is security."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be its availability."
"IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"It has a good feature called pureScale, which is just for scalability. It is a perfect solution for environments where scalability is going to be an issue."
"The solution is easy to install and simple to maintain. The most valuable aspect of the solution is its general user-friendliness for users of all kinds."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered backup functionality. Many similar tools already do, which means Db2 is somewhat behind the curve in terms of what a customer might expect from it."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"They should simplify the management of Db2 as a relational database system. There should be the simplification of management. This is probably one of the most important asks for being successful in the future."
"The tool is not easy to use. It needs to improve scale computing so that the tool can be scaled vertically. The product needs to enhance pre-engine optimization and it needs to be more efficient in completing queries. The documentation should be updated to include different scenarios of deployment."
"End-to-end encryption specifically is something the solution needs to have in the next release."
"There could be more user-friendly tools with features such as drag-and-drop functionality, visual basics, and low-code capabilities."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve in the steps it takes for upgrades. It is not an easy process. The process of upgrading the version is lengthy and requires a lot of time. To make it more efficient, I suggest implementing some automation on the solution side. This will greatly reduce the time required for the upgrade."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
