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 feature of the IBM Db2 Database is security."
"We had a crash of the backup system and the IBM DB2 was always up and consistent. It's robust, and for us, it was always up and running."
"IBM Db2 was much cheaper as a package than using other products. This is because IBM supplied a package with its product. It's an application. So it was much more efficient and a stronger competitor in that regard."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its stability. We have never had any problems and have never had to contact technical support."
"We are dealing with millions of transactions a month and the performance is very good."
"It's a very mature product."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"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"
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved, it's expensive."
"The problem with this environment is that any software that you install is very costly because there are no free tools for this environment."
"The initial set up was complex."
"The vendor should offer a free version"
"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."
"The solution could be more modern and have updated database technology."
"IBM's products tend to be quite costly, especially given the availability of free, open-source alternatives."
"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."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"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."
"Technical support could be faster."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
