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 solution helps secure the database."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable, in both hardware and database."
"It has a good feature called pureScale, which is just for scalability. It is a perfect solution for environments where scalability is going to be an issue."
"it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"It's the best solution in terms of security, performance, and availability because the system is available 24/7."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"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"
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"We need some time to improve the performance. We have to perform a weekly REORG, or else RUNSTATS for the databases."
"The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved."
"We just want a bit more integration with Linux. That said, we are already seeing Linux more readily available on the mainframe environment."
"It would be helpful to have more querying tools and more development tools for us to work easily with Microsoft."
"I would say that the tool has to be made more cloud-friendly and should have agreements with AWS, Microsoft, or Google to run things on hyperscalers."
"The initial setup could be improved."
"The capabilities of this solution could improve."
"The initial set up was complex."
"Technical support could be faster."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"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 user interface for this solution can be made better."
