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 aspect of this solution is its stability. We have never had any problems and have never had to contact technical support."
"Reliable, robust with great features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are security and stability."
"The solution is very stable, in both hardware and database."
"The setup process has become much easier recently."
"IBM Db2 was much cheaper as a package than using other products. This is because IBM supplied a package with its product. It's an application. So it was much more efficient and a stronger competitor in that regard."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with other IBM products."
"it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"It is very easy to start working with the product."
"The solution's performance is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"I would like to see better support for advanced analytics."
"The technical support can be faster."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"The queries can be difficult for beginners because there are so many. I would like to see more use cases for flow analysis that enable us to correlate the flow with events. Adding this feature in a QI format would be good for beginners."
"The management of Db2 should be simplified because there are not too many specialists in this area, and the learning curve of Db2 specialists is very long. After the courses, probably it takes one and a half or two years to get to the point when you are using the product properly in the production systems. So, the complexity is very high, and the most important thing is to simplify the management of the product, including self-maintenance. They should simplify the installation, management, and monitoring to simplify the product. It takes too long for a person to be a specialist in this product."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve the user-defined functions. There are some user-defined functions that are missing, such as the spring functions. I used to have Teradata for my projects and I was used to working in the environment. They had a good set of user-defined functions."
"The price should be lower."
"GUI needs improvement."
"Improvement could be made in the workflow, particularly when it comes to making changes or implementing certain functions."
"The product has many bugs."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."
"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."
"The user interface is not simple."
"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."
"There could be more courses where the people could learn more easily how to use the tool."
