"DBA ADMNISTRATOR IN DB2"
What do you like best about IBM Db2?

I have worked in DB2 technology since 1996. I have made a lot of effort to understand what it can offer the user, its automatic applications, and its security, its integrity and the backup and recovery of its data. It is a robust and fully tested technology. Very reliable for any volume of data. Preferably the transactional ones. Excellent administrator of relational tables and its standard SQL. I recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

In my personal experience, DB2 is very demanded by its utilities. Many commands and references of very nebulous errors. It requires a lot of computing power, it is still architecture for medium and large computing environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
