Reliable data management with well established provider

  • January 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
DB2 offers a lot of performance options that can be tweaked from SAS (Most of my use of DB2 is done through a SAS to DB2 connector).
DB2 BLU is also a great improvement on a somewhat older technology. It really brought the DB2 system up to par with newer versions of competitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the db2 sql syntax is not really intuitive. Make sure to have documentation available or an access to google for web searches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise data warehouse. DB2 has been here for a very long time (20+ years). Having support for most production environment being under the responsibility of IBM, it is more convenient this way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that you have a very good local knowledge if you want to go with IBM world support as it generally means support from India. No real problem or other consideration other than that.

DB2 4 U

  • January 10, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has been a solid product for decades on multiple platforms. I've used it on AS400 iSeries windows with hybrid and stand alone implementations.

One thing that has always bothered me is the documentation. I always had better success using third party books.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using a DB2 SQL engine sitting on top of an AS400 file system I was able to support a document printing application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Big blue is still big blue.

A robust and time tested database

  • January 09, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Volumes it process are amazing. It's one the most reliable databases from IBM. This database is a time tested database and continues to stay strong. It can handle complex nested queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
DB2 name itself is not sounding any meaningful. They could have given a more catchy name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Almost all the applications in the healthcare ecosystem have DB2 standing like a rock behind them
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check if this has fine compatibility with latest technologies which are upcoming now. There could be a better option from fine compatibility perspective.

Secure RDBMS. Good Support community.

  • January 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Querying is fast for large chunks of data. Legacy systems without referential integrity are fast when compared to opensource DBs like Sybase.
Updates and Security Patches are released in a controlled manner and it is easy to plan around it.
Java Method Support is good to use. DB2 IBM support is good. Any issues will be addressed quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can think of . Really cant say any difference between DB2 and the other DBs in the market like Oracle and MySQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data which have to be stored for legal requirements for 30+ years are saved using DB2.

What do you like best about the product?
If I have to be honest, using IBM Db2 Hosted doesn't make any sense. It is not bad, it a relational DBMS and helps in scalability due to it being hosted on the cloud. However, as it is by IBM thus integrating it with other frameworks and services is not as easy as configuring Amazon's DynamoDb for the same effort. Else it just does the work, slightly more efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
As mentioned above, it is not very seamless when it comes to integration with other services and frameworks. This makes the overall procedure a pain!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building an application using IBM Db2 Hosted as a service. We had to use it due to the client mainframe and IBM Db2 integration requirements. Else would any day go for DynamoDB
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can then go for Dynamo or MS SQL based DB.

What do you like best about the product?
It's a really good database which lets me save and fetch desired information at will using basic queries.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing specific to be disliked, it does what it says, if you are looking for a SQL based Relational DB then go for it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it for saving user information and other drivers feedback when i created my driver feedback system app.
