We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Multitenant based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of IBM Db2 Database is its ability to perform automatic self-management, reducing the need for manual tasks such as managing logs and folders."
"I believe that because the support is good, they jump in and assist us in determining the root cause."
"Its robustness, scalability, availability, and performance are valuable. All these are the major attributes of a relational database for supporting a very high-volume business, and Db2 is very good in all those areas and in all those attributes."
"The most valuable features are with the industrial side."
"We had a crash of the backup system and the IBM DB2 was always up and consistent. It's robust, and for us, it was always up and running."
"The solution is a very stable relational database and has integration with legacy systems. It is a great product."
"Some of the most valuable features are the scaling from a small very cheap installation to a very large enterprise installation. In addition, the backups and assistance are good."
"It is a scalable solution."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The price should be lower."
"The solution's UI hasn't been upgraded. The solution’s UI is an area to improve because the solution was developed long ago."
"There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
"Do not use support. Freely available documentation is a bit weak."
"The tool is not easy to use. It needs to improve scale computing so that the tool can be scaled vertically. The product needs to enhance pre-engine optimization and it needs to be more efficient in completing queries. The documentation should be updated to include different scenarios of deployment."
"I would like to see some artificial intelligence brought into the solution."
"The technical support can be faster."
"The problem with this environment is that any software that you install is very costly because there are no free tools for this environment."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
