older technology but this is what iam experienced with to accomplish the end result
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
no problems
Depending on the version, it can be your best friend or worst enemy
What do you like best about the product?
DB2 is all about performance and control. We run it on an iSeries AS/400, version 5 revision 4. You get a lot of tools and a lot of in-depth access if you want it, as well as very good performance compared to most engines out there, mainly because, at least on the AS/400, the DB is part of the OS instead of being a ran program. Oh yeah, and the maintenance is amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY - instead of LIMIT. 0/1 instead of TRUE/FALSE (again, I am speaking from a v5r4 view). Weird act-ups sometimes, like a SUM containing a division of DECIMAL will return an integer in a SELECT and a DECIMAL in an UPDATE. The constant need for CAST. A DECIMAL(4,2) multiplied by a DECIMAL(4,2) has to be CAST down to a DECIMAL(4,2) manually, each time. Else, overflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing stocks, users, clients, basically everything a medium-sized business needs.
DB2 easy to work
What do you like best about the product?
I like DB2 as compared to IMS DB or VSAM because of ease of work. It's easy to write scripts, handle it in COBOL program. DB2LINK is also cool feature to interact with multiple functionalities or programs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much to dislike but performance could be better in complex join situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainframe programming for healthcare applications handling claim processing

Improve your backups and databases with IBM Db2 on cloud
What do you like best about the product?
This software comes with a high availability option, where you can help a database and you can scale and search for any type of information securely from the cloud, additionally you have the ability to separate the data from the cpu and the cloud, in which you can pay only the time or space you use, helps you take care of data encryption
What do you dislike about the product?
These types of software are very necessary already in the day to day of any company, since now everything is based on the speed of technology to drown man hours and give faster response, for me there is nothing negative in it, even improves the security of your database
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i'm going to perform the test to create a database and a backup where you can check the speed of work within the cloud, the security of the information there backed up, and how this can help the company, is a very interesting tool
Recommendations to others considering the product:
perform the test, so that they are convinced that it can be a great tool for your recommended company.
Quick and easy Implementation in lesser cost
What do you like best about the product?
It was a lovely experience to work with the IBM Db2 team providing ultimate level of philosophy around delivering quality and performance in a cost-effective manner.The product 'just works' and the IBM team couldn't be any more helpful. Very reliable product.Security is very high and security is been considered seriously which can't be compromised with not affecting the performance at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that IBM does not push the benefits of Db2 vs. Oracle and HANA, as the database of choice for SAP. Needs to be adopt and adapt modern interfaces in a agile manner. Integration with IDAA needs to be made more transparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost effectiveness by replacing SAP. Complete Adoption of maturing technologies with manageable risk. Data Warehouse and Data Management solution for Analytics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Allocate extra resources than the load expected (keep buffer to expedite the implementation. Support from IBM Db2 team is awesome as compared to other vendors like Oracle and SAP. Better publicize the benefits of running SAP on Db2. Push IBM for more modern interfaces. Technlogy is very solid and reliable
Db2 Warehouse on Cloud Review
What do you like best about the product?
You can size dashDB to your current needs and expand its capability later on as the needed. I like the way dashDB allow for connecting to the cloud that my network engineer to set things up quickly. IBM dashDB's ability to store and provide fast access to data both on-premise and in the cloud makes it a real winner for me.
What do you dislike about the product?
IBM dashDB could be clearer about the technology used to deliver the particular tier of the service you buy. IBM dashDB can be cost prohibitive for folks needing to push a lot of data from on-premise into the cloud on a regular basis.IBM dashDB is really like three data technologies in one and the sales teams at IBM sometimes can't explain why the MPP tier is better for certain uses over the db2 BLU based tier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The IBM DB2 database is of the cool new technologies through which one can easily create a database on the cloud without having to worry about any operating system and does not have any limitation. It is easily scalable and also does not require any major set up.
Good old DB2 now on cloud
What do you like best about the product?
Its a trusted old RDBMS which has been overlooked due to marketing hype by the likes of Oracle and SQL server.
Buts its still is a fantastic product with some good innovation.
