IBM DB2

The DB2 is one of the leading industry performers offering excellent solutions due to its scalability and reliability. If you desire to have an all- round data transformation process without stress, the DB2 is your best bet at achieving that. The platform is deployed on premise and supports multiple operating systems with a GUI and SQL interface to give users a wonderful experience.

There is nothing much to write on the setbacks of this software. There may be some but not that I have encountered yet. However, I realized that it has temporary tables and I can seem to get my head around that. It’s already a top three tool on the Gartner magic quadrant so I’m impressed with the tool.

It comes with specifications that offer access control like enterprise directory compatibility, native network encryption, password complexity rules and security certification. These specifications equally ensure that the DB2 is highly very secure and reliable as a tool. I actually like its checklist features as they also come with superb database capabilities which includes a powerful backup, XML format support, data encryption and compression, java support, Unicode and very scalable.
