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.

End-to-end partner management, quick partner onboarding and deep understanding of partner relationships

I like Impartner PRM's deep understanding of partnering; the tool understands and the tool enables you to sign up partners very quickly and give them the tools and the access they require to do what they need to do. So it can take a partner all the way from forming an interest with an organization all the way through to selling, then reselling, and then managing their partners. It's very easy for you to introduce new products. It's a complete solution - it manages and gives access to the partners so that they can see and work with the internal sales teams for the organizations as well as the customers. So, as you're moving it through the pipeline, both the salesperson from the company and also the partner can see where it is in the pipeline, when it's likely to close, and any issues or problems. So, it enables the partnering organization and the technology company to work together very well. It's a very good communication tool. So, it's through the Impartner portal of this tool. I have seen some improvements in communication with the partners. But it is heavily dependent on how it's set up, but it's very easy and quick to set up. However, it's very much dependent on the person setting it up knowing what they're doing. It certainly has analytics. It can analyze training, for instance, whether or not the training is successful. Often, working with a CRM tool like Salesforce will analyze how long it takes partners to start to become successful and how long it takes to sign them up. Then, it can start looking at which products are being sold and where there are issues with products. So, the reporting part is very straightforward. But, the reporting is only as good as the system's setup and the discipline of partners who input data into it.

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."

"One of the features that the developers like is that they can retrieve what they need with the tool. They don't have to go through some process or request something be done by another team. They can get the programs they need, compile them, retrieve the JCL and alter the JCL if they need to, and put these programs wherever they need to go for their testing."

"It does our CICS NEWCOPYs and our Db2 binds for us, whereas before, that was a manual process. It takes a lot of the workload off of the operations folks and off the DBAs."

"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."

"It helps our staff work by speeding up their documentation process."

"BMC AMI DevX helps me develop COBOL while juggling other responsibilities by bringing editing, debugging, job submissions, and code navigation into a single environment."

"Our intention is to use Topaz for the next generation of mainframe developers to maintain mainframe applications."

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

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"I like Impartner PRM's deep understanding of partnering; the tool understands and the tool enables you to sign up partners very quickly and give them the tools and the access they require to do what they need to do."

"The solution has helped us improve all across the board. Everything that we did before PRM was a one-off. We shared the content back and forth through emails. Whenever there was a scope for training or enablement, a mail would be sent on the same. The solution has helped us scale where partners could use opportunities to get trained on our services and products."

"I would recommend that others interested in the solution use it because it provides a user-friendly setup process. It's easy to navigate through the setup process."

Cons

"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."

"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 solution could be improved by being better integrated with the open world. In the next release, I would like to have the ability to work in an open environment whilst remaining integrated with the legacy environment."

"BMC AMI DevX is a strong platform, but there are a few areas where it could improve, such as simplifying the initial installation and configuration, especially for first-time users."

"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."

"Initial setup can be tricky in some cases."

"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."

"The only thing that bothers me about BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline is the screen movement."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"It would be helpful to have an improved reporting tool in the solution."

"The business using the tool must be well-prepared in terms of partner strategy."

"I would like to see some easy ways in retrieving reports, data analytics, etc. The solution needs to be more specific from the data reporting perspective. It would make it easier to drill down by specific partners. It would be interesting to see some integrations and partnerships for the solution where they could make use of the account mapping tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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 general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"The solution’s pricing is higher compared to other competitor products."
