4 out of 5 Total Reviews for Rocket Enterprise Server (formerly a Micro Focus product)
Micro Focus Enterprise Server is one of the best tools that has come in the market which brings a revolution in the way people look at the legacy application. We have witnessed cost savings of up to 60% by moving the application from the legacy mainframe. This brings most of the legacy applications to fit in without even giving a feel of the interface. It has a good capability of integration with legacy sub-systems and newer platform which brings added features at no cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Micro Focus Enterprise Server is good in most aspects evolving every year we have been working for years but a few things that can bring more value when compared to the mainframe legacy are security, heaviness of the application, and stability with higher loads.
We have always been able to trade-off on these aspects considering cost and MF is evolving well on these aspects over years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4 - It is most expensive compared to all other competitive products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ES has the best GUI to administrate legacy applications using a distributed architecture. Every version and patch update comes with a new feature and gives users new options to explore all possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
