"Db2 Warehouse on Cloud Review"
What do you like best about IBM Db2?

You can size dashDB to your current needs and expand its capability later on as the needed. I like the way dashDB allow for connecting to the cloud that my network engineer to set things up quickly. IBM dashDB's ability to store and provide fast access to data both on-premise and in the cloud makes it a real winner for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

IBM dashDB could be clearer about the technology used to deliver the particular tier of the service you buy. IBM dashDB can be cost prohibitive for folks needing to push a lot of data from on-premise into the cloud on a regular basis.IBM dashDB is really like three data technologies in one and the sales teams at IBM sometimes can't explain why the MPP tier is better for certain uses over the db2 BLU based tier.
