The best thing about microfocus visual cobol is it's integration with various RDBMS and ability to get deployed on various OS which helps to reuse the cobol code efficiently.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I have faced performance issues with microfocus when I was trying to run integrated cobol applications and system was taking the maximum CPU usage. This may impact efficiency of the application.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The most important problem which is getting solved using microfocus is the ability to integrate the cobol code on various OS which is helping to modernize the Mainframe.
This helps customers to modernize the mainframe and take advantage of cloud and various new technologies without taking significant cost.

  • February 03, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
MF cobol provides various easy to develop templates and tools which is very helpful for both senior and new cobol developers. Along with legacy development and changes it can also be used to integrate with latest tech stack like .net or Java
What do you dislike about the product?
Deployment of integrated solutions takes longer time in test region. Also when CI CD pipelines run for .net, Actual Mainframe cobol logs are not accurate. Needs changes to easy deployment of API services and also log capture.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainframe modernization of legacy code to latest .net or java. Also migrate some applications data to cloud using API framework
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best use for legacy modernization where cobol code needs Interaction with other latest web applications having .net or java or cloud.

I think there is nothing which I dislike about this application. It is very easy to make changes in micro focus cobol programs with the help of visual studio. Please start using it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The coding pattern is little different in micro focus Cobol and you can easily use VSAM as a database in it. The codes can be easily compiled and it is very easy to find the errors in it. Debugging makes the life of developer very easy.

  • December 06, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Microfocus COBOL is same as legacy COBOL but it does provide an IDE environment which is easy to work with.

It's an English like language that makes it very easy to understand and still widely used with mainframes system using microfocus with Unix servers
What do you dislike about the product?
No support to object oriented programming, it's only a structured language.

It's a very simple and strong language that is still widely used with mainframes which supports 80 percent of banks and insurance till date.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Microfocus is definitely an alternate to systems which are not that portable on distributed applications
