IBM Db2 Warehouse Reviews

We run POCs of the Db2 Warehouse for telecoms. We just created the databases, we set the environment to work with, and then the client uploads the data. The solution is primarily used for data analysis. I handle the provisioning.

The product offers a lot of integrations with IBM. It works with many brands, products, and solutions. 

It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily.

The solution is easy to set up and quick to deploy.

The stability is good.

So far, the solution is not lacking any features.

It does require knowledge of data management. There is documentation, however, to make the most out of it, you need someone on-side to work closely with the solution.

There should be more material available for training and training should be free.

I've used the solution for maybe a year at most.

The solution is quite stable. Since it's Docker compliant, it's very reliable.

We haven't attempted to scale the product. Since these were proof of concept, we haven't made it really big yet.

We haven't really contracted technical support. As we are a partner, we have a lot of support from the technical team. We have an open ticket, however, the documentation as well it's really well provided. It's very complete.

We have partnerships with Cisco as well as Lenovo, and several other vendors.

The initial setup was really easy. It's Docker compliant. You just pull the image from the IBM repository and that's it. The deployment must have taken less than an hour. In order to have it completely working, it takes maybe two hours to set the database connections with the clients. It's really fast.

We are integrator vendors in Bolivia. We are partners with IBM.

It's fairly easy to use it and it has a free trial, therefore, it's really easy to try. I would tell anyone interested it's worth it to take a look. It's really, really simple.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten.

It's easy and practical to use.

It has helped us increase sales and our inventory.

One of the main problems was the publication of the packages, where if you wanted to modify a publication, it was renamed. The other problem is that when you want to generate a copy of the job, you had to redo the mapping between the source and destination.

I've used it for nine months.

There was an issue with the scheduler.

I previously used DataStage, which I think is better than InfoSphere Warehouse.
