Db2 database scalability and performance capabilities match our database needs. It covers pretty much everything a database administrator or engineer might need.

The stability of IBM Db2 Database is stable. We have not faced any downtime in one year. Our work is mostly during business hours and during that time, we haven't faced any downtime.

I like that its true active-active. For example, if there are two instances within a cluster, we can take one of them down and there's no failover or switch over. There's no primary and secondary, it's true active-active. We can take one side down and we can upgrade that with new maintenance or a new version, obviously testing coexistence beforehand, without impacting the business.

Your iOS, your throughputs, your performance cycles, you cannot touch it with Microsoft or with Oracle scalability-wise. That is far and away the most scalable systems and the highest performing systems of the set of them.

Db2 Database has given us good results since we have started to use it. We predominantly use IBM hardware, and this is one of the reasons why we started to use Db2 Database.
Db2 Database has a very good HADR capability. High availability resilience is also good in this solution. It also has pureScale, which allows you to upgrade one node to get very good and high-level resilience. If you are using a database on five nodes, you can take one node down, upgrade that, and let that node up. You can then bring the second node down, upgrade that, and so on.
The solution is easy to install and simple to maintain. The most valuable aspect of the solution is its general user-friendliness for users of all kinds.

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.
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.
DB2 Enterprise for Linux, UNIX, and Windows is the ideal data server for the most demanding workloads. New XML support is designed to help firms minimize the time and effort it takes to persist and use their XML data reducing development costs and improving business agility.

The setup process has become much easier recently.
Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time.
It's very secure.
Db2's best features are that it's self-maintaining and self-monitoring, which means I have to view and monitor the database far less often.
It's the best solution in terms of security, performance, and availability because the system is available 24/7.
The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information.

When you submit a ticket the response time is quick.
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 self-management and optimization features are probably the best on the market
