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 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 can scale."
"It's the best solution in terms of security, performance, and availability because the system is available 24/7."
"IBM Db2 Database has good performance."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be its availability."
"Its functionality and availability are valuable. Its availability is great. It is available 99.99% of the time."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"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 only drawback that we see in Db2 Database is the crash recovery. When there is a crash and somebody has to do the recovery, Db2 Database first stops, and then it does any crash recovery. In Oracle Database, crash recovery happens within the database. The database is not shut down."
"The initial set up was complex."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"Also, the website could be more intuitive. I didn't find it easy to find documentation on the website."
"The vendor should offer a free version"
"I would like to see better support for advanced analytics."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"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."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"Technical support could be faster."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"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."
