What do you like best about IBM Db2?

When I work with a DBA and they help me to setup indexes on large data sets, the performance improvement is jaw dropping. I love how performant DB2 is. Actually, it was the first database I used for my career, and anytime I need to use other databases, I am shocked to see their lacking performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

The user interface from 2010 has now been decommissioned, it was truly an ugly user interface, but it was effective for getting things done if you don't know the complete set of commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Provides the backbone of a high-performant service-oriented architecture. We need the system to handle as many transactions per second as possible, and we are able to get thousands per second. Thats for read and commit! Truly amazing performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
