What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

Sometimes it is a little itchy with its configuration and not that clear on what exactly is wrong. For example while installing a CM8 instance the DB2 Startup failed with some obscure error message, and the reason was simply some missing user acl's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
