Db2 Warehouse on cloud

Overall Satisfaction with Db2

We handle large volumes of structured data, and Db2 is scalable and reliable for storing critical business data. We use in-memory processing and indexing to optimize the data query, managing customer accounts, transactions, risk assessments, claims processing, and customer policies. It integrates seamlessly with our applications, analytics platforms, and reporting tools. The fact that we can use JavaScript and SQL alongside Db2 makes it an amazing and powerful tool for any need we might have in the future.

Pros

  • Integration with JS
  • SQL queries
  • Optimization
  • Fast Data retrieval

Cons

  • Visual management
  • Add AI to construct queries based on the schema being used
  • More tutorials and simple access for students so they can explore the tool
  • Moving from small DB instance to Db2 was easy and that save us money
  • The support team at IBM is always available to make a successful transition
  • Having Db2 available before for testing in a small environment could be a point of improvement
Oracle and Microsoft are the ones that we have more to compare with and they are on par with Db2. postgres is the small solution that usually we leave behind and move to Db2.
Mongo is the one that is different from what I used Db2 for but I know it has the capability to use NoSQL and that is a plus that I still need to explore.

Do you think Db2 delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Db2's feature set?

Yes

Did Db2 live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Db2 go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Db2 again?

Yes

Just look at the big companies using it and you will see that it can be used on a simple bakery system and Crew Management for Aviation.
Of course smaller the business less it becomes viable. We need to understand the needs of the client. The best use I saw was in Big data access and management. The least efficient way to use is to small data sets.

Scalability and Accessibility

No complaints here, Db2 can take it all. It handles migrations with ease and onboarding is fast and seamless as long as you have the right team.
A best practice is to start with the IT department so we can experience all the problems and when the time comes, we know what to do and our client won't suffer any delay.

Db2 Reliability

I haven't experienced outages unless something catastrophic happens and usually is not on the system but on the internet itself. Nothing much I can say other than I know the support team would be available to give us the best customer support and keep us up to date on whatever the problem might be and how long it might take to bring it back online.
