It definitely ​cuts down on our support costs. I do not get woken up in the middle of the night very often for a problem with Datacom.

Scalability is definitely one thing. The size of the database can grow without any issues. We've got one database table that's got over a billion rows in it; quite a bit of data, and it handles access like a champ.

Something that we would like to see is for them to develop integration with open distribution systems.

There are a lot of features that come out with each upgrade, but our application that runs on it has been around for a long time; they sort of decommissioned this application.

I had trouble with an upgrade once but, when I have trouble with the upgrade there's always someone there to support me and get me through it really quickly.

The only minor issue that we have had with Datacom is in the installation guide: Some of the sizings for the databases have not really worked out for us, so we had to go in and resize them.

For the "no-outage maintainability" of things, they are making improvements as we speak, but there is definitely still room for more of that.
