"Reliable and easy to use are synonyms of Informix!"
What do you like best about IBM Informix?

Informix is my favorite work tool because it meets expectations, it is excellent since this software adapts remarkably to our OLTP server thanks to its architecture, which makes the work we do in our company meet all quality standards, this is completely stable and extensible for any type of data. The data allows us to use it in many areas of our work, thus improving our performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Informix?

There really isn't anything I dislike about Informix, as it has adapted very well to my company's needs, but if there is something that slightly affects its performance, it's that it is single-threaded since it is not capable of taking advantage of multiple processors because it only handles one request at a time.

"Solid database"
What do you like best about IBM Informix?

Its ease of installation and use; when it is well configured, it does not require much supervision and monitoring, and the maintenance cost is low. The speed and accuracy of its responses to queries are very good. Informix allows for quick adaptation to new developers by using standard SQL, and its timeserial fields are very precise for generating sequences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Informix?

Its limited distribution in South America leads to the belief that it is a database that is discontinued, but this is not the case. Additionally, it should improve its look and feel, moving from a black or green screen to a more graphical one for its administration and management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
