Here are some excerpts of what they said:

They are very, very, very limited on the web.""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.""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 areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting.""In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
