I used IBM Watson Studio more than IBM Db2. I feel that IBM Watson Studio is special in the sense that it enables you to operate without going through a rigorous installation process. IBM Watson Studio provides third-party integration. So, you can store your files on IBM cloud storage, and you can publish your data science projects on Github too.

We use several IBM products to complete our infrastructure. IBM Cloud Object Service is just one of the many components we are using. It's nice to have the various tools we need for each aspect of our infrastructure and have it all on our private subnet. For example, if we need storage we just create a new Cloud Object Services bucket and spin up a new virtual server to upload and download files to the bucket.
