Db2 a data management solution
What do you like best about the product?
DB2 is used in data warehousing solutions for ETL purpose to store, analyze and retrieve the data efficiently. It can also be used for semi- structured data i.e, XML and is extremely fats as compared to other traditional databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is scalable but version control, expanding hardware capacity is quite painful, required outage etc.

If you want to opt for traditional RDS then go for it otherwise the cloud offerings like Snowflake etc make more sense in the current world.

Fast and compatible with other IBM Products
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly work on Java applications working on WebSphere and the integration of DB2 with both the software is quite easy and effective. We have never faced an trouble with this. It is also supported for Mainframe programs which gives the additional benifits that we can do batch processing in Mainframe.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some query syntaxes are a bit different than other competitors so migrating them to DB2 requires code changes and requires testing of all the queries. This is a time-consuming task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a REST API Based application which as a database uses DB2 in the background. The DB2 allows us to manage data using direct queries or using Stored procedures. Mostly we prefer using it with some ORM framework and executing the queries. It helps us to manage our data into DB2 and the relationships between those.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are using other IBM products like WebSphere and Mainframe too. The integration with IBM DB2 is very good.
