Cons
"The user interface is not user-friendly.""IBM Db2 Database is not ACID compliant, which would improve it. Db2 lacks Isolation, so when two people are trying to update the same field at the same time it can become stuck. Other newer databases do not have this issue, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle DB, PostgreSQL, and SAP HANA.""The backup solution lacks flexibility.""Performance is something that can be improved with DB2.""The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved.""There could be better integration with some cloud solutions.""The initial setup could be improved.""The command line part of this solution could be much better."
