Informix brings me my team the best functionality, openness and reliability for our customers, and allows developers and customers to avoid having cumbersome time configuring and running Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Informix is for us the best DBMS on the market, unfortunately the vendor IBM ignores that fact and does almost no marketing for it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, one of the best programs is IBM Informix, because Informix offers multiple advantages, such as the implementation of an intelligent tool that keeps events controlled without changing the main scheme.
Informix is also an easy implementation software, because it is very easy to use and Informix has a unique feature to unify time series and spatial data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really do not think I have problems using IBM Informix, because it is a very complete and very useful software, although I would like you to modify the prices of the license packages, because they are a bit expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 comply with all quality standards , this is completely stable and extensible to any type of data. The data allow us to use them in many areas of our work, thus improving our performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There really is not something that I dislike about Informix since it has adapted very well to the needs of my company but if there is anything that affects its performance a little it is that it is single- Threaded since it is not able to take advantage of multiple processors because which only deals with one request at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's rock-solid, fast and diverse, easily the best option for OLTP, data warehouse, and modern technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IBM doesn't market the database to the public or its own sales reps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The small install size and ability to run on meager hardware makes Informix ideal for any situation, whether it be a POC running on a Raspberry Pi or a multi million dollar server in a production environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IBM's licensing model can alienate some long-time customers. It should be more clear and transparent, and likely more competitive with peer products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Most reliable database ever used. Never goes down. with the correct configuration, it can handle thousand of TPS with moderate hardware resources. It has been a live saving in my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Database management tools were a bit skimpy in prior versions, but InformixHQ have to come to the rescue and made it easy to fine tune for speed, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Informix is easy to setup and operate and it is very dependable to stay up and running for years uniterrupted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike is not about the product itself but more with the lack of wider market recognition due to lack of marketing for it in large Corporate circles primarily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Informix is extremely flexible and is extremely fast.There has been nothing data related that I have not been able to solve, With the continued development efforts of HCL and IBM it continues to evolve and stay relevant and stay at the edge of database technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The complexity of complying with licensing and the fact that development/test licenses are too restricted. if I can not effectively build my production like environment in development/test it will never be trusted in production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
IBM is well known for delivering great softwares with multiple options to use throughout companies or enterprises, and something that I find the best thing in the world is its performance, among other features, this combined with its ease of use and a receptive support team makes Informix a great software to talk about. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
How expensive is this product, even though is known that IBM delivers tons of softwares but with higher prices than others, this software in particular is very expensive but for doing the things this software does I would rather pay all the money I can for this software, totally worth it!

As a developer, the thing I like most about using Informix is that I don't have to focus my time on configuring and maintaining my database environments. Getting and keeping things up and running is very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The trouble I deal with with Informix right now is that it seems the good documentation seems to have disappeared and it is very difficult to find really good, in-depth developer documentation with varied examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
