Overall Satisfaction with DB2
We are using DB2 in our IT department. It's used as a back-end tool and specifically, we highly leverage the DB2 client tool to connect to IBM IAccess to do data connections to feed other inventory tools.
- DB2 provides a strong command line interface
- Very resilient DB connection
- Integrated very well with IBM product
- Maybe they could have a simple UI interface similar to MSSQL management studio
- Positive, as it provides simple and stable data access to multiple other systems.
For this case, we need it because we needed to integrate with IAccess and AS400.

Integration with IBM was required
Do it in-house instead of relying to a greater extent on the consultant recommendation.
