Overall Satisfaction with IBM Lift

IBM Lift is being used by our department for moving data. We produce a huge amount of data in DB2 every day, and we need to move it into Data Lake. Lift extracts the data in a very fast and efficient way, which solves the problem very nicely. Without Lift, we may need to write very complex code to achieve it.
  • It extracts data from DB2 at vert fast speed
  • It can resume from last left off
  • The CLI is very easy to use
  • Needs better documentation for CLI
  • data extraction with defined conditions
  • high speed
  • free CLI
  • It saved us weeks of development time
  • Without Lift, we may not be able to handle several billions of records data every day
  • It can easily transferred to another person to maintain

It's well suited for data migration, that's probably why it's called "lift". Although it's designed for migrating data from on-premises data centers to IBM Cloud, it actually can do more than that. In our case, we only use it to extract data from DB2 into CSV files.

It's especially helpful when the data size is very big because it can handle that very fast.
