I'm able to do a lot of changes without any outage."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward for a mainframe product."

"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"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."
"For the "no-outage maintainability" of things, they are making improvements as we speak, but there is definitely still room for more of that."
"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed."
"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."
