A Bit archaic, usually run on Mochasoft.
Although IDEs with better interfaces are available they can be very expensive, so most mainframe projects use old Terminals which require knowledge of mainframe technologies which isn't efficient.
Example, using F7 and F8 just to scroll up and down significantly decreases efficiency.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work on a large scale mainframe application where data received daily is in millions. Certainly allows for extremely fast and secure processing of sensitive data such as call details for a multination telecommunication provider.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use only if the volume of data is huge, otherwise stick to others as learning and using mainframe technology can be challenging.
DB2 works so well with Tableau and other BI apps.
What do you like best about the product?
Working with almost all kinds of DB technologies available right now, I have been so amazed with the speed of processing of records on db2. Being a Tableau expert, fetching data on the go at a reliable speed has been one of the critical requirement and I feel safe to say DB2 has been good with it not just in Live but in Creating Huge Extracts too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such. It is already doing a good job. DB2 can even reach much greater heights in terms of Data Processing ( already is) with more frequent update rollouts.
