Adabas vs. IBM IMS vs. Objectivity/DB

It's well suited for applications running on z/OS I wouldn't consider it for applications on other operating systems

Incentivized

We have built a database of a network of bank branches with all the needs of security and recovery/restart. It requires knowledge of obsolete maintenance languages and perhaps it is too rigid in the schemes.

Incentivized

• It's efficient
• uses relativly few resources

Incentivized

• Security
• Reliability
• Big volume of data and good performance

Incentivized

• Using newer features of z/OS
• pricing

Incentivized

• Certainly, not being a DB relational penalizes its use
• It should be more flexible
• Open up to more recent languages

Incentivized

Converting to another DBMS is a huge project.

Incentivized

Adabas uses resources better than DB2, but it doesn't use newer features of the hardware or operating system.

Incentivized

Essentially, for a question of reliability and scalability, the performance has always been of an enterprise level. The utilities are efficient and effective.

Incentivized

• Every time we want to upgrade our computer, the pricing for adabas is a big concern

Incentivized

• The investment made about 20 years ago that has been fully repaid
• Reliability and security of investments
• Unfortunately, it is quite outdated and therefore maintenance costs are higher because the skills are not always available.
