We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The solution helps secure the database."
"IBM Db2 Database has good performance."
"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 performance of the solution is valuable."
"The stability of IBM Db2 Database is stable. We have not faced any downtime in one year. Our work is mostly during business hours and during that time, we haven't faced any downtime."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Db2 Database is its ability to perform automatic self-management, reducing the need for manual tasks such as managing logs and folders."
"Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"It's very clever."
"The solution is stable."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"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."
"End-to-end encryption specifically is something the solution needs to have in the next release."
"The GUI interface is not particularly friendly for those who do not have experience with the product."
"The management of Db2 should be simplified because there are not too many specialists in this area, and the learning curve of Db2 specialists is very long. After the courses, probably it takes one and a half or two years to get to the point when you are using the product properly in the production systems. So, the complexity is very high, and the most important thing is to simplify the management of the product, including self-maintenance. They should simplify the installation, management, and monitoring to simplify the product. It takes too long for a person to be a specialist in this product."
"The queries can be difficult for beginners because there are so many. I would like to see more use cases for flow analysis that enable us to correlate the flow with events. Adding this feature in a QI format would be good for beginners."
"There could be more user-friendly tools with features such as drag-and-drop functionality, visual basics, and low-code capabilities."
"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."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
