The solution is running on top of IBM I proprietary hardware/software. It shows great stability. DB2 has improved the way our organization functions because we do not have to tune it. There is an autotuning function integrated into the OS, which is useful. On other databases, there is a need to do tunning from time to time.

Beneficial auto-tuning, helpful support, but field updating could improve
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Has a very good RDBMS with high throughput, customizable security features, and a reasonable licensing price.
What is most valuable?
The solution has many beneficial features, such as security, support, and stability.
What needs improvement?
IBM Db2 Database is not ACID compliant, which would improve it. Db2 lacks Isolation, so when two people are trying to update the same field at the same time it can become stuck. Other newer databases do not have this issue, such as Microsoft SQL, Oracle DB, PostgreSQL, and SAP HANA.

I have been using IBM Db2 Database for approximately thirteen years.

Long following with IBM AS400. Has been implemented in other platforms. The direct access, and relational database layout. The use of "Members" is specific to IBM.

Use of Memebers makes it difficult to query with Basic SQL. However, the platform on an IBM AS400 does have built in SQL. Not all of the standard SQL options are available.

Interface with other databases such as MySQL on Azure Platform. Cross warehouse sync with IBM SAN sync.
The database is a direct access, however, the issue becomes with Members and those accessing with SQL that have never seen a Member based DBASe.
