Cons
"The tool is not easy to use. It needs to improve scale computing so that the tool can be scaled vertically. The product needs to enhance pre-engine optimization and it needs to be more efficient in completing queries. The documentation should be updated to include different scenarios of deployment.""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.""IBM Db2 Database could improve in the steps it takes for upgrades. It is not an easy process. The process of upgrading the version is lengthy and requires a lot of time. To make it more efficient, I suggest implementing some automation on the solution side. This will greatly reduce the time required for the upgrade.""End-to-end encryption specifically is something the solution needs to have in the next release.""The product’s user interface is not easy to use.""The capabilities of this solution could improve.""There are some issues with Db2's database file system not being readable. The storage could also be increased, and the monitoring could be improved.""There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
