We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Multitenant based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect of this solution is its stability. We have never had any problems and have never had to contact technical support."
"Db2 Database has given us good results since we have started to use it. We predominantly use IBM hardware, and this is one of the reasons why we started to use Db2 Database. Db2 Database has a very good HADR capability. High availability resilience is also good in this solution. It also has pureScale, which allows you to upgrade one node to get very good and high-level resilience. If you are using a database on five nodes, you can take one node down, upgrade that, and let that node up. You can then bring the second node down, upgrade that, and so on."
"The solution is a very stable relational database and has integration with legacy systems. It is a great product."
"The most valuable feature of the IBM Db2 Database is the ease of use, and the ability to do query writing of any SQL statement and have an output."
"IBM Db2 was much cheaper as a package than using other products. This is because IBM supplied a package with its product. It's an application. So it was much more efficient and a stronger competitor in that regard."
"Its robustness, scalability, availability, and performance are valuable. All these are the major attributes of a relational database for supporting a very high-volume business, and Db2 is very good in all those areas and in all those attributes."
"The solution has very good data compression of up to 50%. For example, if you have 50 terabytes of data, it can be reduced to 25 terabytes."
"Db2's best features are that it's self-maintaining and self-monitoring, which means I have to view and monitor the database far less often."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The backup solution lacks flexibility."
"Some of the internal rearrangement in the administration is not as straightforward as it is in competing products."
"There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"I would like to see better support for advanced analytics."
"End-to-end encryption specifically is something the solution needs to have in the next release."
"The initial set up was complex."
"The solution no longer supports POWER8."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"Technical support could be faster."
