Db2 on-premise

Overall Satisfaction with Db2

In our organization, We have Db2 LUW on AIX and Windows. Our footprint is very small - but only as data warehousing at this time. We are currently working toward migrating data from Netezza into our Db2 environment.

Pros

  • ease of administration
  • quick performance, good for oltp
  • good documentation and support

Cons

  • better options for monitoring (waston.x tools we saw this week look hopeful)

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?

Yes

Would you buy Db2 again?

Yes

In my opinion, I am likely to recommend Db2 to a colleague because it is easy to install, and I think patching and upgrades are fairly straight forward. I also think it is easy to admin from CLI
