Hands-free development has transformed my workflow and now powers full-scale payment projects
As a coder, the hands-free CLI tool, particularly Anthropic Claude Platform, is invaluable. Its ability to process extensive tasks with conversation-style simplicity is unparalleled. For instance, completing complex software projects incredibly fast, potentially in mere days, showcases its power. It empowers individuals who may not have large development teams to achieve substantial outcomes independently. Anthropic Claude Platform can automate many tasks simultaneously, making it a standout feature. Even in an outage or while multitasking, I utilize Anthropic Claude Platform. With just a few commands, it can continue its processes, interact with expansive databases, and manage diverse applications without constant oversight. This capacity to function seamlessly in high-demand environments is a core strength of the platform. My experience shows that credible teams can mirror full-scale innovative solutions using Anthropic Claude Platform, such as a complete payment processing system within a day. Furthermore, I sincerely appreciate the adaptability to integrate with various systems. Different tasks necessitate specific AI solutions, and Anthropic Claude Platform, with its integration, can circulate tasks across numerous platforms. The process is smooth, allowing for prompt execution of large-scale resolutions, such as Cloud Opus 4.8.

Modern workflow has improved COBOL debugging and simplifies understanding complex legacy code
The most valuable feature is the integrated COBOL debugging and code analysis capability. Being able to step through programs, set breakpoints, and monitor variable values to understand how the program flow operates makes troubleshooting much easier and more structured. I also appreciate the modern development environment for editing COBOL, browsing datasets, and submitting JCL jobs without constantly switching between different tools. The code navigation and AI-assisted code understanding capabilities are also useful for working with unfamiliar legacy applications. The code understanding features have been useful when I need to work with unfamiliar COBOL applications. They help me explain existing code, identify the relationships and dependencies between programs and copybooks, and make it easier to understand the overall program flow. Instead of manually tracking every section of a large legacy application, I can use the AI assistance to get a quicker understanding of what the code is doing and where a change may have an impact. This reduces the time to get familiar with older code and makes maintenance and troubleshooting more straightforward and efficient.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Using Anthropic Claude Platform has changed the way I interact with my clients, and it has deepened the relationship."
"Simply put, it has become an indispensable tool for me and those around me."
"It lets a very small team ship capabilities that would normally need a much larger one."
"We have seen a return on investment with Anthropic Claude Platform, observing a 40 to 50% improvement in analyst productivity and a report preparation time reduction of nearly 70%, significantly speeding up our security investigations."
"Topaz workbench is one of the most integrated into Eclipse that I've seen from the mainframe vendors."
"BMC AMI DevX tools have noticeably impacted our developers' productivity and efficiency."
"The debugging is really the most important feature, enabling us to be able to step through."
"From a developer perspective, the main visible benefit I have seen is that it reduced the time needed to debug by 20 to 30 percent for troubleshooting tasks where DevX is applicable."
"I like the ability to flow through the source and see what happens to the data as the statements are executed. If there is a fault, it will track the event, and we can then look back to see why it may have caused the fault. You can also reverse engineer your test. You can set it so that you can go backward as well as forward in your test. This is something that I haven't done here at my company. Compuware Xpediter is one of the best debugging tools for mainframe software development. We have currently licensed only the COBOL language for Xpediter, but I know they have other languages, including Assembler, PL/I."
"For bank applications, DB2 is the best on the market."
"Test data management capabilities are good."
"BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline is a solid product that any company can benefit from if they want to have tight control and a standard way of deploying applications into production in a secure manner."
 

Cons

"More predictable rate-limit/quota headroom for batch and high-throughput workloads, and tighter native batch-inference ergonomics would help."
"Sometimes I regret that Anthropic Claude Platform does not quite match up to other services such as ChatGPT 5 regarding design capabilities."
"I have not noticed any issues with the AWS integration, but Anthropic themselves are difficult to deal with. They overcharged me by $1900 last month, and I am trying to get my money back while they keep sending me an AI support tool, which is a disaster."
"When you're setting up the parameters for how ISPW will work in your shop, there are a lot of questions that have to be answered... BMC Compuware should have more in-depth explanations about what the choices in each question mean. If you pick A, what does that mean has to happen? What does that impact? If you pick B, what does that mean? What does that impact?"
"The ability to edit source code that has special characters is limited. The ability to incorporate or convert REXX into macros that are usable under the Topaz software is not there. And the REXX macros that I have developed over 40 years of work are useless, so I have a toolbox I can't use or deploy using the Topaz technology, while I can use it under MVS."
"Better discussions to identify inventory prior to the start of any migration would be helpful for potential clients that have applications with code that is not modified often."
"It's not as intuitive as it should be. In terms of navigation, there is a large training curve for using it. For a millennial it might be better, if they're used to Eclipse. But coming from a non-Eclipse environment and using Eclipse, though I have experience with Eclipse, it might be cumbersome."
"It's a very complicated tool."
"I find it more cumbersome to use Topaz."
"We have noticed that Topaz supported Eclipse environments are rather old. It would be nice if Topaz were compatible with the more current Eclipse releases."
"One improvement I would appreciate is stronger integration between DevX debugging and other troubleshooting information, such as JCL, job output, abend details, and application logs, all in one place."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"In terms of pricing, there isn't an extra charge for the parts of it we use. It comes with the licenses we purchased for other products, so no complaints there. The licensing is built in with the other products that you purchase from Compuware."
"The price point is great."
"It has saved our developers time and effort when working on documentation, which is now more readable and fluent."
"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."
"The only thing I would mention related to the licensing and/or the pricing, is that they have some visualization features in there that are licensed by concurrent users. We're starting to trip up on that. We're looking to probably increase the number of concurrent licenses that we have. But those types of licensing strategies, where they license by concurrent users or the number of seats is confusing for some people. They don't understand why it works sometimes and doesn't work other times."
"I like the seat-based licensing much more than MSU-based licensing, and that the cost has been competitive."
