Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are security and stability."
"It's the best solution in terms of security, performance, and availability because the system is available 24/7."
"The setup process has become much easier recently."
"The solution has many beneficial features, such as security, support, and stability."
"The stability of IBM Db2 Database is stable. We have not faced any downtime in one year. Our work is mostly during business hours and during that time, we haven't faced any downtime."
"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."
"it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"The management of Db2 should be simplified because there are not too many specialists in this area, and the learning curve of Db2 specialists is very long. After the courses, probably it takes one and a half or two years to get to the point when you are using the product properly in the production systems. So, the complexity is very high, and the most important thing is to simplify the management of the product, including self-maintenance. They should simplify the installation, management, and monitoring to simplify the product. It takes too long for a person to be a specialist in this product."
"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."
"Also, the website could be more intuitive. I didn't find it easy to find documentation on the website."
"When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management."
"The initial setup could be improved."
"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."
"I would say that the tool has to be made more cloud-friendly and should have agreements with AWS, Microsoft, or Google to run things on hyperscalers."
"We need some time to improve the performance. We have to perform a weekly REORG, or else RUNSTATS for the databases."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
