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."it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"Reliable, robust with great features."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information."
"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."
"The solution is a very stable relational database and has integration with legacy systems. It is a great product."
"The solution has many beneficial features, such as security, support, and stability."
"IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"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"
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve the user-defined functions. There are some user-defined functions that are missing, such as the spring functions. I used to have Teradata for my projects and I was used to working in the environment. They had a good set of user-defined functions."
"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 would be helpful to have more querying tools and more development tools for us to work easily with Microsoft."
"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 command line part of this solution could be much better."
"Not very solid compared to its competitors' products."
"The technical support team is not very good when compared to the efficiency of Oracle's support."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"Technical support could be faster."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
