What do you dislike about the product?
My experience with IBM Db2 over the years has been marked by a notable gap in user-friendly tools, especially when compared to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). The absence of an equivalent tool has been a source of frustration, particularly in areas such as auditing, query tuning, and monitoring. The auditing feature feels outdated, requiring considerable manual effort. Query tuning lacks the streamlined approach found in SSMS, and the absence of a tool akin to SSMS's activity monitor means delving into scripts for essential reports.
In a landscape where many databases showcase activities through elegant GUI screens, the reliance on scripts for reports feels antiquated. Unlike SSMS, where obtaining an explain plan is a single click away, DB2 demands a more complex process involving plan generation, interpretation, and decision-making. Additionally, the use of Java for GUIs presents a performance challenge, with slow loading times.
This experience highlights a perceived stagnation in tool development for DB2, necessitating heavy dependence on the expertise of a DBA rather than leveraging tools for simplified day-to-day activities. While DB2 offers robust features, the user interface and toolset development seem to lag behind, making routine tasks more labor-intensive than they need to be.
