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 most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with other IBM products."
"Db2's best features are that it's self-maintaining and self-monitoring, which means I have to view and monitor the database far less often."
"The setup process has become much easier recently."
"Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time."
"It has a good, stable performance."
"Scales well enough for a relational database."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"When you submit a ticket the response time is quick."
"In general, the product is strong enough and offers high performance."
"The technical support from Oracle is good and responsive. I used them for security updates and patches."
"It's fast compared to other databases."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Database is the performance."
"The interface is easy to use."
"I like the design of the database because it works well. I also like the stability of the solution."
"The tool is efficient and fast compared to other alternatives. The tool's processing speed is fast, and we've experienced minimal hang-ups. This enables us to address queries within a shorter time frame. I wouldn't say it's just one particular feature, but overall, the efficiency and speed of Oracle Database have had a significant impact. Our support systems are more efficient, allowing us to accomplish tasks quickly."
"We use Oracle Database to run applications. We use it for our clients' databases and applications."
"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 could be more modern and have updated database technology."
"IBM's products tend to be quite costly, especially given the availability of free, open-source alternatives."
"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."
"They should develop its containerized version."
"The technical support can be faster."
"The initial set up was complex."
"There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There are a lot of bugs in the Oracle Database, and it would be better if the bugs would be solved more quickly than they are today."
"They should be putting more emphasis on the Windows platform. Usually, they run very well on the Linux platform, however, their performance on Windows is a little bit lower quality."
"Better integration with other databases would be an improvement."
"The product is pricey and expensive."
"Even if you have backup discs and never use Data Guard, you still have to pay for a license for it."
"Cost is always a concern."
"The initial setup is a bit complex."
