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."it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"Db2 database scalability and performance capabilities match our database needs. It covers pretty much everything a database administrator or engineer might need."
"Some of the most valuable features are the scaling from a small very cheap installation to a very large enterprise installation. In addition, the backups and assistance are good."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its stability. We have never had any problems and have never had to contact technical support."
"We are dealing with millions of transactions a month and the performance is very good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features of this solution are security and stability."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"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"
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"There could be more user-friendly tools with features such as drag-and-drop functionality, visual basics, and low-code capabilities."
"Their view of it is they're maintaining it, they're continuing to upgrade it, they're continuing to grow it, however, they don't go out and try and sell that as an architectural solution the way they do Linux and Unix."
"Some of the internal rearrangement in the administration is not as straightforward as it is in competing products."
"The queries can be difficult for beginners because there are so many. I would like to see more use cases for flow analysis that enable us to correlate the flow with events. Adding this feature in a QI format would be good for beginners."
"The user interface is not user-friendly."
"Also, the website could be more intuitive. I didn't find it easy to find documentation on the website."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve with better security."
"The GUI interface is not particularly friendly for those who do not have experience with the product."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"Technical support could be faster."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"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."
