Scalability and the online maintainability of definitions are definite advantages for us

Pros

"Scalability is definitely one thing. The size of the database can grow without any issues. We've got one database table that's got over a billion rows in it; quite a bit of data, and it handles access like a champ."

Cons

"For the "no-outage maintainability" of things, they are making improvements as we speak, but there is definitely still room for more of that."

It is a stable product that cuts down on our support costs

Pros

"It definitely ​cuts down on our support costs. I do not get woken up in the middle of the night very often for a problem with Datacom."

Cons

"The only minor issue that we have had with Datacom is in the installation guide: Some of the sizings for the databases have not really worked out for us, so we had to go in and resize them."

​It is like a black box type of product. We just set it up and it runs.

The stability and capacity of the database engine are the most valuable aspects for us.

It has enabled us to manage all of the mainframe data easily, but they should develop integration with open distribution systems.
