The best DB for Mainframe legacy system

  • August 07, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Working with Db2 is very easy as it allows all the database features of Relational database management system. It is the database of legacy system which can be used with Cobol, AS4 etc. It is easy to learn for beginners and designed to store , analyze and retrieve the data efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are lots of great as well as efficient monitoring tools in DB2, but nowhere it is mentioned which one is recommended by iBM. Its hard to find good Db 2 DBAs for a new project unlike oracle or SQL server DBAs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy to install and deploy with tons of redbooks and whitepapers available on internet. Db 2 is cheaper compared to oracle or other databases. The maintenance cost is cheap as well including hardware up-gradation is also very cost effective.

  • July 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Db2 have a good integration with Host and cobol programs, for store data generate with this programs is the best solution in the market.
The configuration of the clients at least for me was a little bit complicated, as far as i know it only have 3 party clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Db2 does not have the potential of other solutions, less functions implemented than other databases for data analysis i think there are better solutions than these one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using db2 like our database for all the cobol programs, intregration with that is easier than other products
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Is the best database if you have host. It a very robust database. For the rest of applications like data analysis there are a way better solutions at the moment.
