IBM DB2 'was' good
What do you like best about the product?
IBM DB2 is a fast database manager that allows multi-platform integration. It has a massive scalability, as well as a continuous availability in case any issue arise. Trust is what it offers.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is becoming an outdated technology, as most of the IBM techs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working with an AS400, which has DB2 integrated. The problems solved are the integration with multiple external services through a well documented API.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fast and scalable, but there may be better options in the market.
Amazing database language by IBM
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the way it has a different syntax than the traditional RDMS SQL. For ex: In order to create an alias for a table name, you have to write a query separately with "create alias aliasname for table name" instead of a traditional table name alias name syntax.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's difficult to put to use especially when you are building applications in a specific company IDE. What I mean to say is if you are working with Visual Studio, it's better to write queries in SQL Server Management Studio due to its ease of SQL Server storage on cloud and interaction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am an IBM certified DB2 Associate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must go for it if you are using IBM tools and Team Management systems like Lotus Notes or Rational Team Concert.
