great database solution

  • August 18, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
IBM db2 is a very complete, fast and versatile database option, there are many reasons why I choose IBM db2 as my database. Whether for its great versatility when running on a wide variety of operating systems, such as window, mac, Linux, etc.
Another point in favor of IBM db2 is its security and data management. In general, it is an excellent, easy-to-use, high-performance, scalable and flexible SQL engine for big-data, with advanced data query functions and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
IBM db2 was my main option as a database, but after a while, I saw many disadvantages that make me think about replacing it.
-Conversions between databases become tedious at times.
-Technical support takes time to respond.
-The price is a bit high compared to other database software.
Those are the main features that I dislike about IBM db2, in short, it needs to improve some aspects to live up to the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me in the creation of databases and data analysis tables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend it for its easy-to-use, high-performance, scalable and flexible SQL engine for big-data, as well as its versatility. But it is not one of the best in the market, so I recommend researching and looking for the database software that best suits you.

Best DB in market that too from IBM

  • May 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have used many DB's in different projects but IBM DB2 is the best I have ever seen. it's so compatible with any kind of operating system and performance wise its so fast & more powerful while comparing to other databases. We are using IBM DB2 for updating our logs, auditing purpose & saving the application data in DB for future reference. When we are making any kind of DB calls to IBM DB2 from our applications it's very responsive & fast. We implemented many complexes stored procedures for calling our applications & during executing those its so responsive & fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
We didn't find any issues with IBM DB2, moreover, it helps our applications to process any kind of data processing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Auditing, logging & capturing data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Its best DB we can use any kind of application integration.

Archaic system with no useful online support/documentation

  • May 08, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Can't think of anything, to be honest. This is probably my least favorite database system to use out of the following list: MS SQL Server, MySQL, SQLlite, Elastic, Hadoop, Oracle, Teradata, etc. Would rather use any of these than IBM DB2.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't declare global variables, after using more than 5 different databases this is the first I've come across that does not support them. There is no online support or documentation that can give you the answer you are looking for. It does not support PIVOT/UNPIVOT functions so you are not able to transpose anything. This system was big in the '80s and died in the '80s. After showing clients who use DB2 a different database system (literally any, didn't matter which really) they were blown away and instantly started transitioning away from DB2 and on to the new system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
New talent does not want to use this system as they find no online support and know it is archaic (and that IBM is dying/does update their products enough). If you want any kind of data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't consider it
