DB2 DBA

I have worked with DB2 as a database manager for over 30 years. It is a great product, robust, lots of flexibility, ever improving and rock solid.

Senior Consultant

The bad thing that I see, is that you have to acquire a business license to use your maximum potential, apart from that there is also use IBM hardware, otherwise many conflicts are created.

Software Engineer

We used it for projects that have a huge database and complex queries, the experience was great as the ability to handle complex queries reduced the load on our application.

Consultant

Installation is very easy and when installed it's ease of use, very convenient. It's also very easy to connect to other tools like DBVisualizer which gives another way of viewing the tables and info.

It is such a powerful tool that optimized requested works super fast.

DevOps Developer

IBM DB2 is the best and most powerful relational database management system.

Powerful cloud and local solution for large and reliable project.

Application Developer

I was able to run millions, sometimes billions of rows of data through and it handled it just fine. The included functions were very helpful in translating complex data structures.

IBM Db2 is very expensive to maintain compared to its competitors. Another issue for me is the lack of timely updates.

Executive Recruiter

I find the customer support of IBM Db2 the best product support team as whenever we have questions they just respond to them in the quickest way.

Administrator / dba

It was simple to install and by default comes as self managed. We also deploy this for hosting customer data and integration with net backup, ha solutions and job scheduling is industry standard.

Associate Professor

The product supports almost any front-end application that requires database. All the drivers are provided as you setup a connection to an application.

It's fairly easy to set up and offers a lot of functionality, it's very easy to connect to most of the UI tools and framework. The security features make it ideal for banking applications.

I felt there is a storage capacity problem which sometimes makes it difficult to check the effectiveness of the entire database.

It did everything I needed. Maybe the only complaint would be how complex it is, but that is more of a feature not a bug.

Software Trainee

We don't have to worry about license costs as they wouldn't be more than that in Oracle. It can run on any OS like windows, Linux, Mac.

Student

Error Handling feature is really impressive. DB2 provides API support for many languages.

Lead Data Analyst

We load all the sales data into DB2 system and will derive analytics on top of it. I can recommand if you have lot of budget to put on database managemnet.

Very Secure Database

IBM DB2 support for relational as well as non-relational structures makes it stand out.

Allows the handling of large objects (up to 2 GB), the definition of data and functions by the user

Straightforward to install and manage. Solid deployments but features can be behind. This is acceptable in our organisation, but may not be desirable in cutting edge companies.
