Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"Scales well enough for a relational database."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"Your iOS, your throughputs, your performance cycles, you cannot touch it with Microsoft or with Oracle scalability-wise. That is far and away the most scalable systems and the highest performing systems of the set of them."
"IBM Db2 Database has good performance."
"It has a good, stable performance."
"Reliable, robust with great features."
"It is quite a stable solution."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The initial setup could be improved."
"IBM's products tend to be quite costly, especially given the availability of free, open-source alternatives."
"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 initial set up was complex."
"Also, the website could be more intuitive. I didn't find it easy to find documentation on the website."
"Performance is something that can be improved with DB2."
"The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved."
"In terms of improvements, IBM Db2 can improve its interface and its functionality. Also, the embedded functions should be much richer than the current ones - the functions which are embedded in the engine itself."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
