DB2 developer
What do you like best about the product?
It’s fast and can handle large amount of data .
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot of functions available in DB2 to manipulate the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulling data from different sources if easy and store large amount of data .
Still the best for large scale data
What do you like best about the product?
Best at handling large databases that have thousands of transactions per day; very stable and reliable; allows for large user base.
What do you dislike about the product?
would like to see it easier to switch between character sets (such as EBCDIC to Unicode); additional query building tools would be nice to have
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storage of large volumes of data; access of large volumes of data at fast speeds; very high availablility; supports large number of users accessing data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Still the best performance for large scale data; have not seen other products that even come close
DB2 is the tried and true database.
What do you like best about the product?
When it is administered well, DB2 is lightening fast with even very very large tables and retrieval of your data is very easy from any programming language with the familiar and intuitive SAL language.
What do you dislike about the product?
When it has not been architected and maintained well, data retrieval can be very difficult. It is really only as good as the DBAs make it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some tables with extraordinary amounts of data that are also growing bigger allbthe time. DB2 gives us the abiliry to pull from that data pool with subsecond response times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Stick with one platform. I am working in a shop now where we have twobdatabase platforms. It's unnecessary and just makes things that much more difficult. Keep to one. If you switch, switch completely, not halfway.
Software developer
What do you like best about the product?
Very robust and great for transaction processing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need more functions for BI and data warehousing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Filing Customs documents for clients, billing, and reporting
Solid Database program
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use and it makes sense when querying the data
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really that I can think of. It is responsive and works
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for our core software and when pulling reports from it, it is responsive and
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it, a good Database program
Stable Database
What do you like best about the product?
I've worked with this software for thirty years.
What do you dislike about the product?
The DB2 software great for inventory and financial applications..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventories and financial
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very favorable
Great Database Platform (For the Most Part)
What do you like best about the product?
DB2 is relatively simple to maintain and performs very well. It provides a wealth of enterprise class features (mirroring, replication, clustering, etc), and I've found the built in troubleshooting/monitoring tools to be quite handy. IBM support for the product has been excellent as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Worst ODBC drivers I've ever used - and that says something. There are countless variations and packages, each with 32-bit, 64-bit, and multilanguage flavors. It's easiest if you use the GUI-based tools to create the System DSN (using the Windows ODBC interface has never once worked properly for us), but the GUI tools install a small DB instance wherever they're installed. I don't want that on my servers just to get an ODBC connection set up. The lightweight drivers only provide poorly documented CLI tools and store passwords in cleartext ini files.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our DB2 cluster mirrors our mainframe databases to act as a data repository for all our business-critical applications. Our mainframe is unable to handle the load from external queries, so the DB2 cluster acts as the read/write for all integrations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are free products that perform just as well and likely have better integration capabilities with 3rd party applications. However, DB2 was the right fit for us because it worked natively with our aging mainframe.
Excellent DBMS
What do you like best about the product?
Excellent database to handle high volume of data, recommended for datawarehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
DB2 for Zos is focused on mainframe equipment, making it difficult for the installation of alternative infrastructure to the data center in the case of having a contingency center.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The partitioning of 21 alternative centers was resolved through the DB2, the management of roles and permissions for the accesses to the objects with the implementation of Rc / secure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Define the project very well if the DB2 database manager is required since it could be expensive to maintain the infrastructure depending on the installation and configuration.
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.
