We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance of the solution is valuable.""We had a crash of the backup system and the IBM DB2 was always up and consistent. It's robust, and for us, it was always up and running.""Db2 database scalability and performance capabilities match our database needs. It covers pretty much everything a database administrator or engineer might need.""It has a good, stable performance.""The solution has many beneficial features, such as security, support, and stability.""The solution helps secure the database.""Very good for performance and scalability.""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."

Cons
"Performance is something that can be improved with DB2.""Do not use support. Freely available documentation is a bit weak.​""The initial setup could be improved.""IBM Db2 Database could improve with better security.""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.""The solution no longer supports POWER8.""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.""They should develop its containerized version."
