DB2 has stiff competition, It has fallen way behind Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. Updates are not rolling out from a long time. Lot of good features are being deprecated. Windows client is a nightmare. There was 'Control Center desktop client that has been removed. Very complicated installation. New hardware and networking advances are not being utilized.

Backend Data storage in Relational table format. It is good RDBMS suitable for traditional monolithic applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's comparatively less cost compared to Oracle / Microsoft Sql server. I don't thing IBM is doing lot of investment on DB2. If your applications are mission critical and you want future proofing it's better to go with Microsoft SQL Server. If your app is legacy and it's not too important to scale then you can go with DB2
