What do you like best about the product?
ANSCII compliance is high, Queries are similar to Oracle SQL, Since it is there from long time lot of help is available online. Available both on linux as well as windows. Mostly written in JAVA and C, C++. Less vulnerabilities is known. Support system is good. World wide agents are available. Queries are simple
What do you dislike about the product?
DB2 has stiff competition, It has fallen way behind Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. Updates are not rolling out from a long time. Lot of good features are being deprecated. Windows client is a nightmare. There was 'Control Center desktop client that has been removed. Very complicated installation. New hardware and networking advances are not being utilized.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backend Data storage in Relational table format. It is good RDBMS suitable for traditional monolithic applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's comparatively less cost compared to Oracle / Microsoft Sql server. I don't thing IBM is doing lot of investment on DB2. If your applications are mission critical and you want future proofing it's better to go with Microsoft SQL Server. If your app is legacy and it's not too important to scale then you can go with DB2
