What do you like best about the product?
We are using db2 on daily basis in the retirement domain to store and access the data secuarly. The front view tool which is provided on top of db2 i.e. IBM data client studio or AQT is the best to deal with db2.

Not as such anything which we dislike about db2.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a software developer we use to write new scripts and integrate it with application to implement new things.

Great Data Management Products by IBM. A real alternative to Oracle.

  • October 18, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
They provide DB2 as a RDMBS with many features and easy of use. It has powerful SQL features especially for mainframe system is very beneficial. It is a great cross platform database as can be run on any server. Especially great for mainframe users.
What do you dislike about the product?
I guess that it is not much marketed by IBM and the new version of Db2 are not rolled out as quickly as some of its competitors. Also paid IBM support is very much required.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM Db2 is used for storing most of our business data very securely. We have been able to perform migration from other databases to Db2 effectively using some of the utilities provided by IBM as part of DB2. It is very much self managed database.
