Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"​It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times.​"
"​It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"Improved monitoring and performance management."
"It takes advantage of new features of DB2."
"The reports generated and the old statistics shown are really helpful."
"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
 

Cons

"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."
"Minor stability issues."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format.​"
"In the case of any particular SQL which is executing for a longer time and causing issues with any particular store or DB2 programs, if it could pinpoint the problems like any other tool should do, that would be really helpful."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
