Adabas vs. InterSystems IRIS

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

Intersystems IRIS is a really great tool for Interoperability. It has so many capabilities out of the box and then such a great developer community on top of that, that there are really no limits to what you can do in terms of data manipulation and translation. Personally I find it to be a great tool if you are looking for Interoperability software.

• It's efficient
• uses relativly few resources

• Connecting with mutliple vendor platforms and systems allowing us to consume and provide data as needed.
• Allowed us to implement our own RESTful api engine to server data to our internal applications.
• Setting up their recommendations for high availability allow us to perform server maintenance with minimal down time to our users.

• Using newer features of z/OS
• pricing

• The documentation can be excellent for some things but then is non-existent for explaining other things. There should be more consistency in the level of the documentation on offer.
• Not all the methods for classes work, in particular, I have found half the methods for EnsLib.Rest.Service does not work, and doesn't provide any examples of how to use them (e.g. ReportHTTPStatusCode()).

Converting to another DBMS is a huge project.

The interface is very intuitive, the documentation is very good so it is not complicated to operate.

The security is complex, but you can create a special role to access and the user ONLY can operate with the part that it allows.

Also, you can examine the data very quick with the SQL Browser integrated.

The InterSystems WRC has always been helpful and responsive. The folks I have spoken with are always understanding of our needs and questions and regardless of if the question is simple or complex we are always met with the same professionalism and helpfulness every time. I have no hesitations contacting InterSystems for help!

Will done based on a proper planning, so this will makes execution more easier and better.

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

We are using InterSystems IRIS [especially] for database operations as the query performance is really good for [a large] amount of customer data. You can easily integrate for any application like web, desktop, and many more. It also provides BI functionality which is also very easy to implement using InterSystems IRIS[.]

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

Incentivized

• Very Fast and scalable software to deal with big data flow, safe and robust.
• The studio IDE is quite old fashion and lacks a few facilities
• amazing for complex data consumption, its milyi-model capability wich allows multiple different models for a single set of codes.
