Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily.""The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions.""The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data.""Provides good security and reliability.""Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies.""I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."

"It will be MPP, so performance should improve.""The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger.​""The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."

Cons
"There should be more material available for training and training should be free.""The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web.""The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting.""Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish.""The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years.""IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface.""In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."

More IBM Db2 Warehouse Cons →

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either.""Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks.""Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue.""Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
