Josef Kraus - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for ETL process and has good documentation
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.
AdnanNaseem - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers built-in utilities and tools that simplify management
Oracle often releases updated versions of Database Appliance with improvements. However, I think Oracle should focus on further automating database management and IT-related tasks, such as backups. They've made progress with daily database stat automation, which is a good feature. Moreover, every product benefits from new functionality over time. I would like to see a centralized terminal where we can easily manage the database and its components with drag-and-drop functionality instead of relying solely on commands. So, I would like to see a centralized dashboard. Other areas of improvement include customer service and support, and scalability.
