A data warehouse solution for data analysis and storing various datasets

Pros

"The solution is stable."

Cons

"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. "

If you have good people designing how the data is stored, this is a marvelous tool

Pros

"I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well. "

Cons

"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years. "

The analytics engine is valuable and the solution is pretty scalable, but it needs more online resources and lacks power

Pros

"The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."

Cons

"The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."

Abundant features, scalable, straightforward install, but stability needs improvement

Pros

"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."

Cons

"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."

Great for enterprise businesses but has poor scalability

Pros

"The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data. "

Cons

"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable. "
