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.

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

"I think BMC AMI DevX has provided overall benefits and a positive impact because I've seen a lot of developers, not just the new developers, but even the old developers who have used the green screen their entire life, also developing with BMC AMI DevX and migrating into the newer 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."

"It's a modernized development portal and helps reduce the learning curve for younger people coming in to work on the platform,"

"The product has made our mainframe data management process easier. It has helped us save manhours. The tool's most valuable feature is the ability to edit tape files. Its ability to clone files is beneficial in application development."

"The plugin ISPW integrated into Eclipse is a really valuable functionality for developers who already use it."

"With the use of ISPW, we were able to reduce our deployment time for specific applications by utilizing the auto-deploy features."

"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."

"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."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"Claude for Enterprise has impacted my organization positively a lot; people want to use it, but it's controlled."

"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 saves me significant time when conducting research or writing quick Python scripts."

"Overall, I rate Claude nine out of ten."

"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 has positively impacted my organization, as evident from the metrics which show productivity doubling and turnaround time being cut in half."

Cons

"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."

"BMC AMI DevX's logging in feature is not so great. Furthermore, the startup of BMC AMI DevX takes a long time to start up before it loads."

"Their technical support could be better."

"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."

"I find it more cumbersome to use Topaz."

"The ISPW plugin could be improved to add some functionality which is already in ISPF panels and not in the plugin."

"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."

"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."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"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 foundational model would have to be improved to be comparable to ChatGPT for everyday use cases."

"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 biggest frustration for me regarding Claude for Enterprise is the pricing and credit consumption."

"There's limited access to Claude for Enterprise, which means it's restricted in availability."

"I face issues with Claude halting or hallucinating occasionally, as it happens with some projects but not all."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I like the seat-based licensing much more than MSU-based licensing, and that the cost has been competitive."

"The price point is great."

"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 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."

"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."
