It associated with huge front cost so it's not possible for startups and small organisations to use it without any thoughts like cloud dbs.

Fast and compatible with other IBM Products
What do you like best about the product?
I mostly work on Java applications working on WebSphere and the integration of DB2 with both the software is quite easy and effective. We have never faced an trouble with this. It is also supported for Mainframe programs which gives the additional benifits that we can do batch processing in Mainframe.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some query syntaxes are a bit different than other competitors so migrating them to DB2 requires code changes and requires testing of all the queries. This is a time-consuming task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a REST API Based application which as a database uses DB2 in the background. The DB2 allows us to manage data using direct queries or using Stored procedures. Mostly we prefer using it with some ORM framework and executing the queries. It helps us to manage our data into DB2 and the relationships between those.

If you are using other IBM products like WebSphere and Mainframe too. The integration with IBM DB2 is very good.

Highly recommended
Good Performance and The Technical Support Needs Improvement
What do you like best about the product?
The performance is very good and computes engine is good
What do you dislike about the product?
The scalability of DB needs a more user-friendlyinterface. Huge queries with a large number of data impacts computation power.
The technical support specialist team takes ages to resolve any issue. We have to rely on make-shift solutions and the issues keep recurring. Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support

IBM dashDB's ability to store and provide fast access to data both on-premise and in the cloud makes it best-of-breed when it comes to implementation flexibility. For example, IBM dashDB allows you to size your needs without the upfront CapEx cost of buying hardware and software to meet the future needs of an EDW or application. All the while you can have one data solution that pulls data together with data from Hyperion Planning (Oracle) and Microsoft Dynamics (MM) into the same system as part of an EDW project.
