Amazing database
What do you like best about the product?
What i always declare about IBM products is the robust gets after it gets install, is a pretty fast and lite . Easy to install ,, integrates with differents opertaint system and finally you can have a free version with all the features . The data management was really agile , is impresive how work equal for 10 record to 1000 records.
What do you dislike about the product?
not much about the dislikes but there are a few :
1.- If you want to buy the full version is really expensive
2.- For installing in diferentes Opertatin system other than windows is a pretty hard problem to solve
3.- In the internet is not a lot of information to solve every day issues.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
well in my case we were running an ibm aplication that only works on DB2 so more than solving an issue was see how it works and i can say is a pretty good tool to work with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is a really good database and has a lot of feature to work really nice , but you have to considerer 2 major aspects of it :
1.- If you want the free version you limited for some feature and max storage of 2g, instead of that the paid version is almost perfect but is super expensive.
2.- Beware for want system you are using it , in windows is pretty easy but linux is a pretty big headake
3.- also beware that is not a lot of information in the internet to help and only have the IBM data that sometime is not as acurate as should be.

The best Database but Really bad Advertisement
What do you like best about the product?
Fot me the best feature of this database , is how lite it is , like any IBM product is almost imposible to put it out of line after gets install so for me as a developer is not another problem to be worried , also is it a diferrent versions of it , Express , full etc , even a linux version , that a very high point in my list.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not everything has to be perfect but my major dislike for this is how dificult it is to install it , is a problem that can take days to get it done , in my first experience wooth this was really dificult to install , and some incompatibiliys with windows servers that where a pretty big problem for me as a junior. Also is very expensive, so not many companies can affort this type of databases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Db2 is a really strong database , pretty easy to use and the documentation is a lot of them , most of it is from IBM but another programers make some manuals to help us to work with database also. We make it run over a 2008 servers and works like a charm , this is why we got it
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can make it easy to install and keep up with the lastest servers and operating system you should be ready to have THE BEST database for 10 years without worrying about anything in its performance
Reliable data management with well established provider
What do you like best about the product?
DB2 offers a lot of performance options that can be tweaked from SAS (Most of my use of DB2 is done through a SAS to DB2 connector).
DB2 BLU is also a great improvement on a somewhat older technology. It really brought the DB2 system up to par with newer versions of competitors.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the db2 sql syntax is not really intuitive. Make sure to have documentation available or an access to google for web searches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise data warehouse. DB2 has been here for a very long time (20+ years). Having support for most production environment being under the responsibility of IBM, it is more convenient this way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that you have a very good local knowledge if you want to go with IBM world support as it generally means support from India. No real problem or other consideration other than that.
