DBA ADMNISTRATOR IN DB2
What do you like best about the product?
I have worked in DB2 technology since 1996. I have made a lot of effort to understand what it can offer the user, its automatic applications, and its security, its integrity and the backup and recovery of its data. It is a robust and fully tested technology. Very reliable for any volume of data. Preferably the transactional ones. Excellent administrator of relational tables and its standard SQL. I recommend it.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my personal experience, DB2 is very demanded by its utilities. Many commands and references of very nebulous errors. It requires a lot of computing power, it is still architecture for medium and large computing environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked to assist developers of large data analysis systems. Especially business intelligence solutions, designing datamarts and datawarehouse. And processing of statistical data of medium and great complexity. Very good relationship with third-party SAS software: mining and multivariate data analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes. It is definitely excellent for handling transactional data and non-formal data, safe, reliable. recoverable, robust and updated to the demands of new trends in the modern development of applications and systems and for handling very large volumes of data.

DB2 Review
What do you like best about the product?
Really strong DB engine and most probably one of the big 3... stable version running on Linux family can put some comfort in the organization using it.

Windows versions or if you pretend to get away of the major standard implementations and best practices you can still do it but not recommended to avoid a lot of scripting...

Not necessarily problems were resolved but the stability and performance were pretty good and what expected. From previous old version until now IBM has done a very good job!
