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."The solution has very good data compression of up to 50%. For example, if you have 50 terabytes of data, it can be reduced to 25 terabytes."
"The most valuable features are with the industrial side."
"It's very secure."
"It's a very mature product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with other IBM products."
"IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"The features that I have found most valuable are things like cluster setup and RAC One. We are using the main CQN and third party plugin support right now. We are relying on different languages support that we are getting from the Oracle side. It is one of the major areas in which Oracle excels compared to other databases."
"The latest version is a lot more organized than the previous version. We can check out the regular files and our dictionaries and our created files, which are a little better organized right now."
"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."
"Oracle Database is a stable solution."
"I like that it's a robust product. It has very good features. One good feature is Oracle REX because, in SQL Server, we don't have that. SQL Server has something similar, but it's not the same stuff."
"The performance of the solution is impeccable."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution is very stable."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"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."
"Performance is something that can be improved with DB2."
"The capabilities of this solution could improve."
"GUI needs improvement."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve with better security."
"The installation of the product could be designed to be simpler."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The monitoring system is not very user friendly and could include a graphic interface."
"Its price can be improved."
"The solution can be quite expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises. Not too many companies can actually afford the pricing."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is pricey and expensive."
"We believe that the usability could be improved, especially within the data lakehouse. We found content management to be a little bit more simpler within the GUI part."
