We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Oracle Database In-Memory 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."We are dealing with millions of transactions a month and the performance is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is PowerPC support."
"The solution has many beneficial features, such as security, support, and stability."
"IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"Reliable, robust with great features."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"The scalability is very good."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"The most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"The problem with this environment is that any software that you install is very costly because there are no free tools for this environment."
"The initial setup could be improved."
"The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved."
"When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management."
"The tool is not easy to use. It needs to improve scale computing so that the tool can be scaled vertically. The product needs to enhance pre-engine optimization and it needs to be more efficient in completing queries. The documentation should be updated to include different scenarios of deployment."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve with better security."
"The solution's UI hasn't been upgraded. The solution’s UI is an area to improve because the solution was developed long ago."
"I would like to see some artificial intelligence brought into the solution."
"The product could be more economical."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
