IBM offers Db2 Big SQL, an enterprise grade hybrid ANSI-compliant SQL on Hadoop engine, delivering massively parallel processing (MPP) and advanced data query. Big SQL offers a single database connection or query for disparate sources such as HDFS, RDMS, NoSQL databases, object stores and WebHDFS.
Data Virtuality Platform's best and most unique feature is that it is SQL-based, giving us flexibility when working with our data that other marketing integration pipeline tools couldn't provide. Our main benefits are the short time it takes to connect to our data sources and the flexibility of the virtual SQL layer to meet our end users' data needs. It paves the way for us to tap into various data repositories, extract the data contained within, and examine it. It allows us to access information, generate actionable reports, and make data-driven decisions. However, inadequate data governance rules and a complex configuration process make data connectors challenging.

My recommendation obviously would depend on the application. But I think given the right requirements, IBM DB2 Big SQL is definitely a contender for a database platform. Especially when disparate data and multiple data stores are involved. I like the fact I can use the product to federate my data and make it look like it's all in one place. The engine is high performance and if you desire to use Hadoop, this could be your platform.

IBM DB2 is a solid service but hasn't seen much innovation over the past decade. It gets the job done and supports our IT operations across digital so it is fair.

IBM did a good job of supporting us during our evaluation and proof of concept. They were able to provide all necessary guidance, answer questions, help us architect it, etc. We were pleased with the support provided by the vendor. I will caveat and say this support was all before the sale, however, we have a ton of IBM products and they provide the same high level of support for all of them. I didn't see this being any different. I give IBM support two thumbs up!

Data Virtuality Platform has powerful transformation and scheduling capabilities combined with the best support team. A virtual data layer that supports SQL procedures is a game changer. Data Virtuality has made data management more efficient. It lets us access various data sources, extract, and analyze data. The short time it takes to connect to our data sources and the flexibility of the virtual SQL layer allows us to meet our end users' data needs.

MS SQL Server was ruled out given we didn't feel we could collapse environments. We thought of MS-SQL as more of a one for one replacement for Sybase ASE, i.e., server for server. SAP HANA was evaluated and given a big thumbs up but was rejected because the SQL would have to be rewritten at the time (now they have an accelerator so you don't have to). Also, there was a very low adoption rate within the enterprise. IBM DB2 Big SQL was not selected even though technically it achieved high scores, because we could not find readily available talent and low adoption rate within the enterprise (basically no adoption at the time). We ended up selecting Exadata because of the high adoption rate within the enterprise even though technically HANA and Big SQL were superior in our evaluations.
