Modern workflow has improved COBOL debugging and simplifies understanding complex legacy code

The most valuable feature is the integrated COBOL debugging and code analysis capability. Being able to step through programs, set breakpoints, and monitor variable values to understand how the program flow operates makes troubleshooting much easier and more structured. I also appreciate the modern development environment for editing COBOL, browsing datasets, and submitting JCL jobs without constantly switching between different tools. The code navigation and AI-assisted code understanding capabilities are also useful for working with unfamiliar legacy applications. The code understanding features have been useful when I need to work with unfamiliar COBOL applications. They help me explain existing code, identify the relationships and dependencies between programs and copybooks, and make it easier to understand the overall program flow. Instead of manually tracking every section of a large legacy application, I can use the AI assistance to get a quicker understanding of what the code is doing and where a change may have an impact. This reduces the time to get familiar with older code and makes maintenance and troubleshooting more straightforward and efficient.

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 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."

"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."

"The visual ability to see potential downstream impacts to changes being made assists our developers in understanding the impact associated with their change."

"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."

"I like that Compuware File-AID can actually map out control sections within load modules, or, as they're now known, program objects."

"From a user perspective, the GUIs make it easier for people to see and interact with files on the mainframe."

"We have seen an improvement in the rate and level of quality at which we deploy changes."

"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."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"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."

"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."

Cons

"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."

"Their technical support could be better. There were times where, when we reported bugs, they would fix one bug but add another one. That's probably because of their support model. A lot of organizations are developing software using Agile rather than the Waterfall method, so things are happening all over the place. You get things quicker, but sometimes one fix will break another one or add other bugs."

"Technical support has gotten better over the years, though there's always room for improvement."

"One improvement I would appreciate is stronger integration between DevX debugging and other troubleshooting information, such as JCL, job output, abend details, and application logs, all in one place."

"Their technical support could be better."

"Topaz Workbench often doesn't play well with other plugins in the environment."

"While I am aware of the possibility to integrate Git with BMC AMI DevX zAdviser, this integration does not fit within our solution landscape."

"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?"

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"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."

"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."

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."

"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."

"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"The price point is great."

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