"The Ultimate hybrid SQL engine."
What do you like best about IBM Db2?

IBM DB2 big SQL engine for Hadoop makes quering the enterprise data from across the organization easier.

With this, we can quickly access data stored in hadoop, run federated queries across a variety of data sources.

Even when different applications having different SQL dialects, Big SQL will understand them and data engineers can make use of this highly!

Big SQL can solve the machine learning problems more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

Compared to any other SQL engine, i would definitely go with IBM DB2 big SQL and do not find any significant cons as such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used many DB's in different projects but IBM DB2 is the best I have ever seen. it's so compatible with any kind of operating system and performance wise its so fast & more powerful while comparing to other databases. We are using IBM DB2 for updating our logs, auditing purpose & saving the application data in DB for future reference.

We implemented many complexes stored procedures for calling our applications & during executing those its so responsive & fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Perfect for Legacy code handling"
What do you like best about IBM Db2?

I utilize Access databases frequently,

ignoring 'weird looks' given to me by IT professionals who consider anything

less than Oracle not a true database, but some sort of a 'toy'. However, DB2

fits the bill perfectly in some cases. Back in 1996, I had to resolve a problem

very quickly, by creating a 'tool' to keep track of problems encounters by

buyers from the procurement department in ordering certain parts, like parts

for old designs and currently unavailable due to obsolescence, or parts having

an unacceptable long lead time. The need was for a relatively simple and small

database, allowing recording of such problems, recording of the progress made

by the Component Engineering department in finding a solution and the recording

of the solution itself, when one was found. I selected IBM DB2 as a

platform, since it appeared relatively simple compared to more powerful

databases, and my proficiency in other members of the Office suite making the

learning curve shorter. And it worked very well. The implementation took only

three weeks and the results were very much appreciated by its users. I believe

this database it is still in use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

It cannot accommodate as many records or as many concurrent users an Oracle or similar database can.

It is not as reliable as a database of 'industrial strength' is.

It does not work fast, particularly when when large amount of code was used for its design or when a relatively many users attempt to utilize it simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
