What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

In the older version of Db2 selection of query was not available to execute them but later on it was rectified.I am enough satisfied with Db2 but I would comment on pricing of this software that price is high as compare to other database available in the market.

"One of the best database servers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about IBM Db2?

I have mainly used DB2 along with IBM BPM as a product and application database for both non production and production environments. Running commands from Command Line Interface or IBM Data Studio is ease. Great performance with faster query returns. Vary much stable, occasionally goes down. Requires very low maintenance once deployed. Task scheduler is a great advantage. Can stored XML data to reduce development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

Administrating is bit difficult. Lack of proper documentation for all administration tasks. Requires costle hardwares and licensing cost is also high. Support from IBM takes lots of time even after raising PMRs.

IBM Data Studio is a heavy software, preferable to use other Database clients like DBVisualizer, Oracle SQL Developer etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Db2:

DB2 is a good database in terms of transaction based workloads. It integrates well with other IBM softwares like IBM Websphere, IBM Datapower. But overall it's a stable and reliable database server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Db2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Used as a default product database of IBM BPM and used as application database for IBM BPM applications for banking, finance, healthcare clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"THE Database "

5/5

What do you like best about IBM Db2?

Db2 is a rock solid database offering lots of functionality. IBM provided an XML data type early in the market and provides now temporal tables and time travel SQL since years again being one of the first offering this. The optimizer has always been cost based and was improved over the years. With BLU also column oriented tables are supported providing great speed for analytical front ends. The community edition is free and can be used in production enviroments - a good point to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

The market penetration and the reputation is not reflecting the real product - that is a pity. The educational material is limited and it is hard to get people trained on the current version of the product. Getting people with Db2 skills is hard as a result of the things mentioned.
