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 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It lets a very small team ship capabilities that would normally need a much larger one."
"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."
"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."
"BMC AMI DevX helps me develop COBOL while juggling other responsibilities by bringing editing, debugging, job submissions, and code navigation into a single environment."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"BMC AMI DevX tools have noticeably impacted our developers' productivity and efficiency."
"We can develop in parallel today on ISPF, but it's giving us the advantage of the newer interface into the mainframe programming languages that younger programmers can use and are familiar with, rather than using the ISPF green screen."
"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"From a user perspective, the GUIs make it easier for people to see and interact with files on the mainframe."
"It speeds up processes, makes things easier, more efficient, and from a mainframe perspective, the way the mainframe is utilized has become that much easier."
"I like the ability that it has to format copy books in a presentable manner. So, you will be able to see the starting offset in length of each field within the layout."
 

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."
"We plan to replace BMC Compuware File-AID due to its price. Two years back, we paid 11,000 dollars. However, the current price is 27,900 dollars. The price has increased to at least eight times its initial cost. We would need to pay around 60,000 dollars to have all three products together. We also encountered issues during version updates."
"The area for improvement is related to the testing tools that are available for unit testing or acceptance testing. I know they have some out there that we are not licensed for at this time, but it seems like some of the Eclipse tools that are used for other programming languages, they're all just built-in and they're a little more intuitive to the developers. Making those testing tools as intuitive as possible, and as integrated as possible into the workbench, would be really beneficial."
"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."
"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."
"The area for improvement is related to the testing tools that are available for unit testing or acceptance testing."
"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."
"The only thing that bothers me about BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline is the screen movement."
"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?"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 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."
"I like the seat-based licensing much more than MSU-based licensing, and that the cost has been competitive."
"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."
