"The self-management and optimization features are probably the best on the market"
"It has a good feature called pureScale, which is just for scalability. It is a perfect solution for environments where scalability is going to be an issue."
"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."
"It's very secure."
"It is a scalable solution."
"When you submit a ticket the response time is quick."
"It's the best solution in terms of security, performance, and availability because the system is available 24/7."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The most valuable aspect of the product is data migration."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"The scalability of the database is absolutely guaranteed by the new features."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The product is easy to learn."
"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."
"The pricing could be improved, it's expensive."
"Performance is something that can be improved with DB2."
"It would be helpful to have more querying tools and more development tools for us to work easily with Microsoft."
"The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved."
"We just want a bit more integration with Linux. That said, we are already seeing Linux more readily available on the mainframe environment."
"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."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
