Cons
"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish.""The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web.""The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years.""There should be more material available for training and training should be free.""There were some initial challenges with IBM Db2 Warehouse about eight months ago when I worked in this environment. When I coordinated with IBM support, they mentioned that the memory was insufficient for our needs. Our business environment required significantly more memory than the previous cluster could provide. Consequently, we have worked closely with on-site IBM technical personnel to address this issue.""IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface.""The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting.""In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
