Devops Engineer / Ispw Admin at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
Tight deployment controls have secured production and simplified complex release rollbacks
The best feature of BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline that impresses me is the fallback functionality. The fallback functionality impresses me because when developers deploy large releases involving multiple components, such as COBOL programs, underlying copy books, and CICS modules, backing out changes would typically become a nightmare. With ISPW, developers can back out the entire release or entire package. If they deployed 100 components and want to back out everything, they can do so with one function and back out all components without worrying about backing out each individual component. They can back out the entire deployment set, which handles everything and brings them back to the previous versions. Developers can also selectively back out a subset of the deployed components. They also have the ability to revert to not just the most previous version but can go back several versions if they choose to do so. This gives them a lot of flexibility.

Automation workflows have transformed daily deliveries and now save weeks of development time
The biggest frustration for me regarding Claude for Enterprise is the pricing and credit consumption. Even for small changes, it consumes more credits than any other competitive platform. If there are more credits, the cost increases. I believe that is definitely a factor. Claude for Enterprise has done an exceptional job in delivering all the right things except for the pricing, because it comes with a good amount of cost. If it could ensure that small changes consume fewer credits, that would be helpful. My final thoughts on Claude for Enterprise are that with the growing use of automations, if Claude for Enterprise could come up with a no-code solution—currently it uses credits to code things—but if it could be a drag-and-drop type of solution, as other competitors such as Make.com or n8n offer, I believe that would be a huge advancement. Currently it is usable for even non-technical people, as they just have to use it with prompts, but if it were structured with a drag-and-drop method to create automation, it would be even more cost-effective and faster than coding it and finding the debugging parts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Topaz is Xpediter. It's more flexible than Xpediter through MVS."
"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."
"For bank applications, DB2 is the best on the market."
"Our intention is to use Topaz for the next generation of mainframe developers to maintain mainframe applications."
"From a user perspective, the GUIs make it easier for people to see and interact with files on the mainframe."
"As far as the software vendors that I work with go, Compuware has some of the best support, in terms of listening to customer requests and accepting enhancements to the product and the like."
"We had parallel development before, but the way ISPW implements it is better. It has more control and oversight of the process, whereas before, it was like the Wild West. Everybody could have their own package with their own version of the component in it... ISPW is constantly aware of it. It notifies when someone else is using or has a different version of that component."
"The plugin ISPW integrated into Eclipse is a really valuable functionality for developers who already use it."
"Overall, I rate Claude nine out of ten."
"One of the best features Claude for Enterprise offers is that there is no competitor for Claude in creating workflows at a very fast level."
"Claude has positively impacted my organization, as evident from the metrics which show productivity doubling and turnaround time being cut in half."
"Claude for Enterprise has positively impacted my organization and my workflow because it has made our shipping very fast, so we are shipping at light speed right now, our products are launching within a week, and our features are being shipped in a day or sometimes even less."
"Claude saves me significant time when conducting research or writing quick Python scripts."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be good if the vendors would work together or at least have some collaboration between them, so they would know what would work and what wouldn't work. Right now, the way things are working, they're relying on the customer to make everything work."
"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."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
"The area for improvement is related to the testing tools that are available for unit testing or acceptance testing."
"Technical support has gotten better over the years, though there's always room for improvement."
"I'm always looking for improvement in things like the documentation, to make things a little bit easier and simpler to understand, a place where people can go to troubleshoot issues."
"I'm waiting to see what 19.2 for Topaz looks like, but I have a problem with the JES Explorer right now. It limits you to a certain prefix for job names and there are some groups that have multiple prefixes that they'd like to see all at once in their job names, because of how they work in a group. And they can't see that in the JES Explorer."
"Claude for Enterprise could be better because I think it is quite expensive and even after spending $200, there are token limitations that might come up sometimes."
"The biggest frustration for me regarding Claude for Enterprise is the pricing and credit consumption."
"The product could be improved by offering automatic integration with other solutions, such as the ability to read Excel or text files and automate processes this way."
"The foundational model would have to be improved to be comparable to ChatGPT for everyday use cases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price point is great."
"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."
"It has saved our developers time and effort when working on documentation, which is now more readable and fluent."
"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."
"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."
