The best SQL platform as long as Mainframes are relevant

  • October 18, 2024
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I have worked on 2 different SQL platforms previously (Microsoft and Adobe). I have been using DB2 for the past one year since I started working in the BFS domain. The best thing I like about DB2 is how seamlessly it integrates with COBOL program with just the use of a SQLCA section. Apart from the common select, update or insert another feature I really love is the cursor feature and fetch options. It helps to navigate the database and choose the exact plan number or ssn relevant to that COBOL code .
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I came across compilation errors when I try to execute COBOL codes using the DCLGEN utility for DB2.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IBM DB2 is the only source of SQL in mainframe systems. So whenever I need to work with the view or the table itself I use DB2 to seamlessly connect with the COBOL application.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The interesting part of DB2 is its relaibility and robustness that helps the data additional, modification and retrieval of information with ease and quick.

It's integration with other external systems is one of the key factor that changed the data processing. The backend system fo the legacy systems like mainframes and other payment processing system revolutionized the digital world.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing left to dislike about the DB2 system
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Major one is data storage and retrieval that is perfectly can be maintained using DB2. Helps me using it daily on the cards and payments services.

DB2 version 11+ and it's support

  • November 30, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We are the user of IBM DB2 since very early v7. v8, now we are on v11+.
This product after v11+ is amazing ------

* for very large DB (which we are using) the exteded compressed columnar-tables partitioned DB env make the BLU acceleration so fast that our DW's ETL (also IBM product) & Reporting so fast
* the workloads for OLTP are high balanced/improved that make all combined jobs have an average higher performance
* the Nested Loop Join (NLJN) made SQL-Merge so fast that a parallel sort using much less memory. Amazing.
* installation and migration become much easier with altogether software delivery.
* the security even more amzing that extended native encryption from local key store upgraded to enterpise level (with using Key Manager, KMIP)
* overall tech support are making sense. Not bad.

We are preparing to upgrade to DB2 v12. So far, we are overally satisfy this product with using other IBM DB management tool like Datastage (ETL) etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still some bugs found with v11.1 (which mostly fixed in v11.5), eg. IT35682; IT39085; IT34931 we experienced. But IBM-Support clearly explained that and provied alternatives.

We hope IBM can develop some kind of GUI All-in-One management (Web based) software/platform for DBA (especially) just like Oracle-Enterprise-Manager. Though there are some 3rd-party software on the market like DBI for DB2 Gui management, we hope IBM can 'invent' own software that could be includeded into the DB2 database software itself (for save on licensing)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All our Database/Data management needs are based on DB2. We are benefited for all DB2 functions for all our daily data management needs
