We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Database based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."It has a good, stable performance."
"Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time."
"The scalability and availability of this solution are the most valuable features."
"it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"IBM Db2 Database has good performance."
"The solution helps secure the database."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information."
"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."
"As a database, the solution has been number one from the beginning."
"High availability using real application clusters."
"The solution is very easy to use in general."
"It seems to work."
"The integration is a good aspect of Oracle."
"The ease of migration between databases."
"I really appreciate the performance of Oracle. When using AWR records you can really see where a problem is. You can get advice about which queries are the heaviest for the database. You also can see advice for indexes. If an index isn't used, then you can just remove it to improve performance. This is a really good feature. Also, the JDBC connection is quite good. Finally, the object types are really good, the types of tables you can use in PL/SQL are also really helpful."
"Oracle Database is easy to install and set up."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve with better security."
"The technical support can be faster."
"We need some time to improve the performance. We have to perform a weekly REORG, or else RUNSTATS for the databases."
"The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved."
"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."
"Performance is something that can be improved with DB2."
"It would be helpful to have more querying tools and more development tools for us to work easily with Microsoft."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The monitoring system is not very user friendly and could include a graphic interface."
"It would be better if the administrator part could be simplified. At the moment, we need specialized skills for managing or administering Oracle Database. If that is simplified, my juniors or basic database engineers could use it. Right now, we need specific administrative skills to manage the Oracle Server."
"There are good dashboards and other features, but it was previously included in licensing. They are now charging for each and every feature. It was previously bundled."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The initial setup could be easier."
"Oracle could improve by providing better integration with other solutions, such as Angular platforms."
"The licensing formulation is too complicated."
