Db2 on cloud

Overall Satisfaction with Db2

An essential part used in the company is the IBM Db2 software to provide the database management cloud solution on our mainframe infrastructure. Super reliable and integrates exceptionally with the Cobol language, offering excellent performance in queries that require a large workload on the DBMS. We've tested several and it was the only one that could handle our data stream and responses in milliseconds. IBM still provides support for the tool, which also has a large community, mainly banks, which help and contribute to solving doubts and programming.

Pros

  • Extremely reliable DBMS with quality support.
  • It works with great encryption and decryption features.
  • Easy scalability.
  • Great connection between Cobol and db2
  • Queries and transactions in milliseconds.

Cons

  • Some query syntaxes are different, but in a short time it's easy to learn.
  • Licensing can be an issue due to the high value of the premium version.
  • It brought more security and reliability of the processed data.
  • High availability and always ready solution for anything in the DBMS.
The solution easily supports scalability and can be increased with the acquisition of new licenses and features. Over the months we gradually increased.
For us, the management of the solution is in the cloud and has always been available. We never had problems with unavailability or login failure. It works 24x7.

Did Db2 live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Db2 go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Db2 again?

Yes

The company has been using it for many years and I have been using it for just over 2 years. I feel the ease in obtaining the data. The solution can fit scenarios where there is quite a high workload and a low response time. Queries and transactions occur in milliseconds. Other backup/restore, replication and other features are fundamental and work exceptionally well. IBM is one of the most reliable companies and has been in the market for years in this segment and has helped us with support whenever we need it.
