Good for large amounts of data and has a variety of use cases but can be complex to use

It's a very complicated tool. Sometimes the customer wants better, faster transaction times. They want the solution to move as fast as possible. We're trying to scale and grow our application with more servers to get the level of speed desired. Everything from small processes to big batch processing needs to be faster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The most valuable feature of Topaz is Xpediter, it's more flexible than Xpediter through MVS."

"My guess is this would have taken twice as long, or we would have had many more issues without using Xpediter."

"The most valuable feature of Topaz is Xpediter. It's more flexible than Xpediter through MVS."

"Once we got the configurations and deployment rolled out, it was very stable. I haven't had any major issues with Eclipse or the Topaz Workbench plugins."

"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."

"The debugging is really the most important feature, enabling us to be able to step through."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"The most valuable features are that is easy to install and it is user-friendly."

"DBMoto was very simple to set up and move our tables to the Oracle DB."

"It's a good product that is user-friendly and easy to manage, and I would recommend it to others."

Cons

"One thing I would really like to see some improvement on is the promotion diagnostic messages. It invokes utilities "under the covers" to copy components, and it does not echo back any of the error messages from those utilities."

"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?"

"One thing I would really like to see some improvement on is the promotion diagnostic messages."

"Initial setup can be tricky in some cases."

"Their technical support could be better."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"Pricing is an area that needs improvement."

"This product would be improved with additional built-in functions for simpler date conversion, as well as for data type transformations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"The price point is great."

"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"I found the price to be quite reasonable."

"Customers pay a license fee yearly."
