Db2 on-premise

Overall Satisfaction with Db2

Db2 is a great database for large datasets. We use the DB2 database to manage our membership and other data. It is reliable and has a fast query response over a large amount of data. We use either native IBM systems to consume the data or connect to it from PC-based applications like PowerBI or node js programs.
  • Return queries of large datasets.
  • Store data
  • Need options for reading in Foxpro data.
  • I'm not sure since Db2 was here long before I was. We have found it cost-prohibitive to even think of moving off this system.
Our use doesn't vary much. We have found it more than sufficient.
The system is very stable. As long as there is power, it is running.
We use these for different purposes.

Do you think Db2 delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Db2's feature set?

Yes

Did Db2 live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Db2 go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Db2 again?

Yes

Db2 is great for any scenario where data is collected. One drawback is that the IBM machines it runs on are not very portable. When we needed to take our data to have on-site at a conference, we ported the data to an MS-SQL database running on a laptop.
