Adabas Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Adabas on all of our applications on our mainframe. It is used for a Payroll application and for a Foreign Trade application. I am not the Adabas DBA, so I only support them from the z/OS side. It seems to me that it is a lot less work to manage than other DBMS's.
Pros
- It's efficient
- uses relativly few resources
Cons
- Using newer features of z/OS
- pricing
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited for applications running on z/OS I wouldn't consider it for applications on other operating systems
