DB2 is excellent for performance
What do you like best about the product?
I have used almost all major relational database technologies throughout my career. Among them, DB2 is the fastest and most reliable database according to my experience. DB2 is unique for its compression technology for storage savings and performance acceleration specially working with analytical workloads. In one of the multinational companies I worked, we used DB2 as the main database on IBM AIX servers for our ERP and DB2 Blu for our Data-warehouse. Having previous experience with all other major database technologies, it sometimes amazed me with its speed of processing records.
What do you dislike about the product?
DB2 is not user-friendly as some of other major databases. Mainly since we used DB2 on AIX environment which is Unix command line-based, having long term previous experience working on windows-based environment to manage the database instances I find it difficult in the first place. We had to depend on writing, scheduling scripts on the operating system features. For analytical purposes we used windows environment which is better. But in my opinion compared to other leading vendors DB2 lacks overall user-friendliness. I assume their main focus on improving performance could have hindered the better graphical user interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having previous experience with all other major database technologies, it sometimes amazed me with its speed of processing records. Specially its capability to handle terabytes of data faster than we expected. That helped us to speed up both overall development time and performance in production environments.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whenever the size of data is large, I use to export the data in Excel file to analyze it. This is a feature provided by Db2
I can sort the data by just adding 'Order by' command at the end of the query.
Just by writing 'WITH UR' at the end of query, I can get all the uncommitted rolls.
It saves the data against loss, unauthorized access (by granting access to particular users).
