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. I don't know why. We are an IBM golden partner, so they support us with sessions regarding best practices for the solution. However, if a company is not a golden partner to IBM and wants to develop a solution including Db2 Warehouse, they will certainly have complications or limitations. If the community was bigger, it would benefit IBM and developers like me.

The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting.
InfoSphere Warehouse is a suite of products that combines the strength of DB2 with a data warehousing infrastructure from IBM. You can use InfoSphere Warehouse to build a complete data warehousing solution that includes a highly scalable relational database, data access capabilities, and front-end analysis tools.

IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface.
In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable.
