Db2 fits the best to our requirements and the price. It has been easy and intuitive to set up and get running. As we have been using other IBM services, our experience has been seamless. We haven't faced any downtime till date. Also, its performance is solid and can handle complex queries easily.

For the most part because of the platform's reliability and maturity of the features it provides. Plus the product offers support and updates in a timely manner, and when you couple that with high availability and disaster recovery features then you have a product that really helps an organization drive continuous operation of critical business services.

The DB2 database is a solid option for our school. We have been on this journey now for 3-4 years so we are still adapting to what it can do. We will renew our use of DB2 because we don’t see. Major need to change. Also, changing a main database in a school environment is a major project, so we’ll avoid that if possible.

Since our services are running in IBM Kubernetes, using IBM Cloud Databases seem to be the best option. It may provide better performance than other vendors as everything is running in the same cloud. The overall experience so far is good as well.
