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 is PowerPC support."
"The solution is very stable, in both hardware and database."
"Db2 database scalability and performance capabilities match our database needs. It covers pretty much everything a database administrator or engineer might need."
"When you submit a ticket the response time is quick."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its compatibility with IBM Power Systems."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information."
"IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"A really large and very useful language to process data."
"The dashboard may be the best solution for intelligent data management, as well as business intelligence."
"Scalability, reliability, and performance are what we are getting with this solution. It is highly scalable and has very good performance. It also has in-built monitoring and optimized optimizer. It is quite stable and secure. When it comes to integration, you can integrate it with other tools as well. However, we have been using Oracle Database within our own premises. So, it is kind of difficult for us to basically do a kind of integration with the outside software. We prefer to do things within our own premises."
"What I like most is the real application security."
"It provided better insight and diagnostics when data problems were encountered by the application."
"Partitioning is most valuable."
"Oracle Database is stable. I'm quite happy with the performance."
"Oracle Database is the best based on stability and high performance."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve the user-defined functions. There are some user-defined functions that are missing, such as the spring functions. I used to have Teradata for my projects and I was used to working in the environment. They had a good set of user-defined functions."
"The solution no longer supports POWER8."
"The technical support can be faster."
"The user interface is not user-friendly."
"The backup solution lacks flexibility."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"I would like to see better support for advanced analytics."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration."
"While working with 20-30 terabytes is okay using this solution, if you have Big Data, data that's much bigger than that, you will run into issues. It's a problem I have right now. They should support much more data."
"The setup for Enterprise Manager Grid Control can be a bit easier."
"The price could be lower."
"The licensing formulation is too complicated."
"The price could be better. Oracle Database could also be easier to scale."
"Technical support and how they treat their customers need to be improved."
"The installation of the product could be designed to be simpler."
"The pricing could be improved."
