ROI

Sentiment score
4.6
BMC AMI DevX boosts efficiency with faster build speeds, improved deployment, reduced debugging, and strong ROI based on studies.
Sentiment score
6.4
Stitch boosts efficiency by saving time and costs, enhancing focus on data analysis despite mixed financial ROI reports.
Faster root cause identification helped me resolve incidents more consistently and reduced the amount of manual debugging effort.
DevOps Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I have seen debugging time decrease by around 20 to 30% because I can trace the COBOL programs and also inspect the variables.
Data Specialist at TCS
That cut down our pipeline maintenance and integration overhead by eighty to ninety percent, freeing us up to focus entirely on actual data analysis and building user-facing features.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Previously it took me about a month to a month and a half to have a prototype of roughly five to ten screens. Now I can do it in about two to three days.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch.

The best skill set they've got is that they know when the issue is outside of their knowledge, and they escalate really quickly so that we get to the right people when we need them.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
The platform actually has a very clear interface and a very good user experience.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
BMC AMI DevX is scalable and efficient for mainframe development, supporting thousands on AWS with minor initial issues.
Sentiment score
5.2
Stitch is scalable and user-friendly, but concerns exist about complexity and third-party connections for heavy applications and UI.
From my perspective, I haven't seen BMC AMI DevX struggle in terms of workloads where it needs to be scaled up or scaled down.
Product Engineer at Absa Group
It can support multiple developers for COBOL applications as they debug different problems without changing the overall development process.
DevOps Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It has been scalable for our mainframe development and support needs, handling large COBOL programs and large workloads.
Data Specialist at TCS
I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
We just spin up a new server and add it into a cluster, and then it pretty much manages the load balancing across all the servers in the cluster.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using the cloud version, then definitely it is scalable for sure.
Senior Manager at pibythree

Room For Improvement

BMC AMI DevX needs integration, user interface improvements, better debugging, and support for seamless transition from TSO to GUIs.
Stitch users seek improved support, customization, integration, error handling, design features, pricing, and AI capabilities for better usability.
Being able to step through the COBOL program, set breakpoints, and monitor variable values gives me a much clearer picture of what is happening during execution.
DevOps Developer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
I have to put my cursor on the field and tap it to bring focus there, or use the tab key multiple times to get to a field on the screen.
Devops Engineer / Ispw Admin at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
To improve BMC AMI DevX, consideration should be given to cloud-style provisioning and development models, as well as integration of more AI capabilities.
Mainframe Modernization Co E & Transformation Lead at cmc
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I saved a lot of time getting from having no design inspiration to having full-fledged designs.
Product Designer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
 

Setup Cost

BMC AMI DevX offers competitive pricing for enterprises with customizable licensing and favorable agreements like Enterprise Agreements.
Stitch is cost-effective for small teams but seen as pricey with large data, complicated by Talend merger licensing.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
The cost of the seats is actually cheaper by the amount of value that you're adding to the business.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
If you are using any ETL tool, they are too expensive.
Senior Manager at pibythree

AkshayChaudhari - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Specialist at TCS
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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.
