What do you like best about IBM Db2?

I mostly work on Java applications working on WebSphere and the integration of DB2 with both the software is quite easy and effective. We have never faced an trouble with this. It is also supported for Mainframe programs which gives the additional benifits that we can do batch processing in Mainframe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

Some query syntaxes are a bit different than other competitors so migrating them to DB2 requires code changes and requires testing of all the queries. This is a time-consuming task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IBM Db2:

If you are using other IBM products like WebSphere and Mainframe too. The integration with IBM DB2 is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have a REST API Based application which as a database uses DB2 in the background. The DB2 allows us to manage data using direct queries or using Stored procedures. Mostly we prefer using it with some ORM framework and executing the queries. It helps us to manage our data into DB2 and the relationships between those. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
