Overall Satisfaction with Db2

It provides high availability and helps with zero downtime and no data loss. It also aids in data partitioning by indexing and delivering optimal performance since it has data governance in Unity catalogs in Data Lakehouse.

Db2 is well suited for the High data availability, which significantly helps the enterprise by providing zero downtime. This resulted in fewer outages and a great customer experience.
