What do you like best about Software AG Adabas?

The best part of Adabas on Mainframe is the secure and fast processing of data. It handles any volume of data and is accessible to Administration. It can be integrated into any system with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Software AG Adabas?

There is no such dislike for Adabas; I can only say that it's not a complete relational database, so some relational database features are missing. And it's a bit costly so that big organisations can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Software AG Adabas solving and how is that benefiting you?

I worked on Adabas for Mainframe when I was working with a Manufacturing and Insurance client for almost eight years, and It helped our client in running Sales, Service and finance. The benefit of using Adabas for the mainframe was that it is secure and swift to process millions of data; if anyone compares it with the new clouds, it is way faster in processing millions of records.

What do you like best about Software AG Adabas?

It is relatively easy to install and configure. It can also be used as a static image and web server, and its performance is second to none in this regard. Its interface is very active and there are many third-party modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Software AG Adabas?

The software Adabas for zIIP can save the cost of complicated load balancers, making things easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Software AG Adabas:

Adabas for zIIP is a high performance, high availability load balancing server. It has very good scalability, reliability, and manageability.

It can withstand high load pressure and is stable.

It can detect internal failures in the server.

It is very active and there are many third party modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Software AG Adabas solving and how is that benefiting you?

BENEFITS

Maximum performance.

Adabas for zIIP allows you to add or remove instances as your traffic needs change, without interrupting the flow of incoming data. For example, if you have an online store, in high sales seasons you need to scale the capacity of your service with other resources and the balancer takes care of this without affecting the user experience.

Failure management. Most balancers handle incoming application requests or verify load balancing between running server instances. If they use multiple data centers in several providers, failures detected in one can be avoided by redistributing resources to other areas, while the corresponding repairs are made.

What do you like best about Software AG Adabas?

Adabas is a non-relational database, works with tables (referred to as files) and rows (referred to as records) as the major organizational units, which helps in good performance compare to other RDBS database. Available on a wider range of platforms, z/OS, Linux, Unix, and Windows. It is easy to learn and to gain expert level knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Software AG Adabas?

It is tough to find the technical documents to gain the depth knowledge. Likewise, we see many specialized forms in other database Vendors. I tried to learn the ADABAS DBA task but could not find the relevant documents to gain the knowledge. We need to have idiot-level technical papers so that many experts can be generated, and no enough is marketing ADABAS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
