We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Multitenant 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 most valuable features are with the industrial side."
"It's a very mature product."
"Scales well enough for a relational database."
"It's easy to search and extract data from the warehouse using queries."
"Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time."
"It's very secure."
"The solution is stable."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The problem with this environment is that any software that you install is very costly because there are no free tools for this environment."
"When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management."
"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."
"IBM Db2 Database is not ACID compliant, which would improve it. Db2 lacks Isolation, so when two people are trying to update the same field at the same time it can become stuck. Other newer databases do not have this issue, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle DB, PostgreSQL, and SAP HANA."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"GUI needs improvement."
"The initial set up was complex."
"I would like to see some artificial intelligence brought into the solution."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
