Great IDE system

What are the best aspects of this product?

I like that Rational Application Developer contains a number of customization features and built-in custom library designed specifically to IBM. The implementation of Open JPA IBM is also perfect for WAS server. I also appreciate the help and support offered by its customer service team.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The platform has a limited system requirement, and it is almost impossible to operate it on devices that have 4GB RAM. When I launch the app, I need to close the others for it to work right. However, it runs smoothly on devices with higher memory.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We’ve been using RAD in one of the important projects for our client. What’s amazing is that it has more than 20 EJB projects in one EAR, and loading all of them is quite fast as compared to other IDE systems out there. It’s just that you need to have a large memory space due to its massive volume.

Are you a current user of this product?

Yes
