Room For Improvement

Airbyte Cloud needs AI integration, better UI, monitoring, comprehensive documentation, and enhanced debugging for improved user experience.
BMC AMI DevX users desire better integration, documentation, testing tools, pricing, UI, Eclipse compatibility, support, and cloud/AI integration.
A more user-friendly error explanation would be beneficial.
Product Manager Intern at a agriculture with 11-50 employees
Comprehensive video tutorials, demonstrations, or proper documentation would be beneficial.
Senior Associate Infrastructure at Publicis Sapient
Error debugging depth in the UI, more granular visibility into why a sync failed, and better handling or guidance around schema changes when they happen frequently in source systems.
Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 11-50 employees
I have to put my cursor on the field and tap it to bring focus there, or use the tab key multiple times to get to a field on the screen.
Devops Engineer / Ispw Admin at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
To improve BMC AMI DevX, consideration should be given to cloud-style provisioning and development models, as well as integration of more AI capabilities.
Mainframe Modernization Co E & Transformation Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
The startup of BMC AMI DevX takes a long time to start up before it loads. It takes a good solid two to three minutes before it's ready so that you can work on it.
Product Engineer at Absa Group
 

Setup Cost

BMC AMI DevX users prefer seat-based licensing for cost-effectiveness, with Topaz's integration enhancing investment value despite licensing challenges.
Its price is 30 to 70 percent lower compared to competitor tools in the market.

Centralized data pipelines have reduced costs and now power faster analytics and reporting
The best features Airbyte Cloud offers include the centralization of data for analytics by combining data from SaaS tools, databases, and APIs into one place. It enables production models, BI reporting, and ML use cases. Airbyte Cloud has a huge connector ecosystem with over 600 connectors across SaaS tools, databases, apps, and platforms that can be integrated. Faster integration requires less engineering work. Automation and reliability are significant features, allowing me to schedule syncs daily with auto-retry, logging, and alerting capabilities. Incremental updates such as CDC for efficiency are available. Airbyte Cloud is a managed cloud solution with no infrastructure worries, as everything is managed. It is customizable, and the significant difference is that we have full control. It is also more cost-effective than competitors.Airbyte Cloud has positively impacted my organization by reducing the manpower required for managing the underlying resources of a data sync. It directly performs the job that a database engineer would do by managing a huge connector ecosystem with over 600 connectors across SaaS tools and databases, enabling faster integration. Whenever new data arrives, it automatically syncs to the destination source without requiring any engineer to manually copy or replicate the data. This approach helps our organization significantly.

Modern tools have boosted mainframe file extraction speed and simplified everyday workflows
I definitely think BMC AMI DevX could be improved or enhanced in terms of the logging in features. BMC AMI DevX's logging in feature is not so great. Whenever you try to log in, it always prompts you for passwords. Then when you have to switch sessions, because we usually have to switch between production and UAT, there's no quick way of switching between the two. Every time you try to switch, it prompts you to log in. Additionally, there's a pop-up that I always receive. When you click X on it, it doesn't disappear. Eventually, I just end up minimizing it. Furthermore, the startup of BMC AMI DevX takes a long time to start up before it loads. It doesn't just immediately start up and it's ready. It takes a good solid two to three minutes before it's ready so that you can work on it. BMC AMI DevX's logins and the other ones I can understand because security has to be there, but I do feel that once I've logged in, I shouldn't need to log in again. The startup problem is the annoying one because if I want to do something, I need to open it two or three minutes earlier to give it time to load up. The startup problem is the one that definitely needs to be addressed.
