We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Warehouse and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."
"The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data."
"It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily."
"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."
"Provides good security and reliability."
"The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface."
"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish."
"There should be more material available for training and training should be free."
"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years."
"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
"The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."
"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
