Advanced features enhance business intelligence, but complex management calls for improved user guidance

While my experience with IBM Db2 Warehouse is somewhat limited, when compared to other databases such as Oracle, there are areas for improvement. They need to enhance the database to make it more user-friendly and easier to master. They should implement a more comprehensive graphical user interface with additional features. For instance, when users encounter problems, the system should provide better guidelines and troubleshooting directions, except for hardware-related issues. They need to implement tools that would help users perform basic troubleshooting rather than solely relying on support. Other databases have features where users can investigate specific issues using error codes. From my experience, many minor issues could be resolved before escalating to support.

They deliver a canned, scalable solution, but I would like to see the TSA scripts available publicly.

With a solid DB2 foundation, it performs incredibly and I recently implemented the new BLU Acceleration, and was dumbfounded that hour-long queries took minutes, in the correct scenario, of course. From a consultant point of view, I can step in and immediately know the system. I do not…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's easy and practical to use."

"It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily."

"IBM Db2 Warehouse is more resilient when dealing with business intelligence applications."

"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."

"Provides good security and reliability."

"The solution is stable."

"IBM Db2 Warehouse is more resilient when dealing with business intelligence applications."

"I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."

More IBM Db2 Warehouse pros

"With a solid DB2 foundation, it performs incredibly and I recently implemented the new BLU Acceleration, and was dumbfounded that hour-long queries took minutes, in the correct scenario, of course."

Cons

"IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface."

"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years."

"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."

"The primary challenges customers face with IBM Db2 Warehouse are related to its complexity in usage. It requires highly skilled professionals who understand Db2, and both training and support are challenging to obtain."

"I previously used DataStage, which I think is better than InfoSphere Warehouse."

"Responding to support tickets takes a lot of time. It can range from two to four days, even for critical issues."

"It takes a long time to have a new version or release, similar to Oracle."

More IBM Db2 Warehouse cons

"The HA - it's a good solution, but I feel IBM should provide the necessary scripts so you can destroy the TSA domain and rebuild it easily."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In a traditional on-prem database, in a data warehouse, the solution is probably on the expensive side."
