The tool's most beneficial feature for our data management tasks has been the ETL process. Additionally, we utilized Windows and Linux. IBM Db2 Warehouse's scalability has significantly impacted our data storage capabilities. We needed to order new disks for storage every week within this hosting environment. Additionally, we implemented protection measures for production use. The tools are readily available, and if you're willing to invest in them, you can access a good data warehouse without any issues.

It is a bit difficult to set it up properly. I would rate the easiness of the initial setup as a three out of ten. Deploying IBM Db2 Warehouse can vary in time depending on the specific requirements of the enterprise. Setting up the database itself can be relatively quick, often involving running a script. However, for the entire solution to be fully implemented and ready for use in an enterprise setting, it typically takes a significant amount of time due to the complexity of the environment and the need for various moving parts to be in place.

Valuable Features

"The most valuable features of IBM Db2 Warehouse include its availability, easy integration, ability to deal with a large size of data, excellent performance with no delays, powerful security mechanisms, and effective support."
"It can scale effectively as long as resources are available."
"The solution is stable."

Room for Improvement

"It takes a long time to have a new version or release, similar to Oracle."
"Responding to support tickets takes a lot of time. It can range from two to four days, even for critical issues."
"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."

Pricing

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

Stability

Users generally find IBM Db2 Warehouse stable, rating its stability from seven to ten out of ten. It is Docker compliant, enhancing its reliability. Some users faced issues requiring support from DB2 but still consider it fairly stable. The absence of frequent disruptions contributes to the perception of reliable performance, though support from IBM was needed in certain instances.
