Db2 Warehouse or IBM products are pretty expensive. There are cheaper tools on the market. However, if the client is satisfied with paying for the Db2 Warehouse license, especially for cloud-based implementations like Cloud Pak for Data, then there shouldn't be any problems.

Db2 is a very expensive database. In comparison to Oracle, for example, where the cost depends on the size of the implementation. For an enterprise database, the cost is mid-range.
InfoSphere Warehouse is a suite of products that combines the strength of DB2 with a data warehousing infrastructure from IBM. You can use InfoSphere Warehouse to build a complete data warehousing solution that includes a highly scalable relational database, data access capabilities, and front-end analysis tools.
The pricing for medium and large environments is almost the same as Oracle. I rate the pricing as six out of ten.

In a traditional on-prem database, in a data warehouse, the solution is probably on the expensive side.
