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.

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.

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."
"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"The smart editor helps because it will code-complete for me. I can see code working a lot faster and I'm able to get things coded in less time."
"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."
"The visual ability to see potential downstream impacts to changes being made assists our developers in understanding the impact associated with their change."
"With the use of ISPW, we were able to reduce our deployment time for specific applications by utilizing the auto-deploy features."
"It's a modernized development portal and helps reduce the learning curve for younger people coming in to work on the platform,"
"I think the most valuable features are code management, code deployment, and code generation. The fact that those three features are included makes BMC Compuware ISPW a robust product. If one of those features was missing, it would be less robust and less interesting. But because it has those three features, it is a very good solution for code development and management."
"Stitch's best features include reporting and real-time insights, and what stands out to me is the speed, accuracy, and creativity in providing state-of-the-art features, leading to better insights, quicker time to market, and facilitating decisions, which I find quite impressive."
"Stitch has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to create MVPs quickly."
"Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier, as it helps my team access data faster and reduces errors."
"Stitch helps immensely because in just a day, we are able to cover the work that would normally take two to three weeks worth of design work nonstop."
"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."
"Stitch saved a lot of time, gave more options, and made it very quick and easy to build a UI."
"The setup process for Stitch was pretty easy, with a plug and play approach where the data is immediately available."
"Easy setup and easy change management are the best features Stitch offers, along with a good admin panel."
 

Cons

"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it."
"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."
"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."
"One thing I would really like to see some improvement on is the promotion diagnostic messages."
"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."
"The area for improvement is related to the testing tools that are available for unit testing or acceptance testing."
"It would be nice to have an audit trail to see what mainframe developers are using what."
"It's a very complicated tool."
"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."
"Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together."
"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"Stitch should definitely provide more extractors than it does now and provide the ability for teams to integrate their own extractors."
"The customer support of Stitch is horrible."
"The conversion to Figma is not effective."
"The designs that Stitch produces sometimes cannot really be used for final launch, but I understand Stitch was designed just for rapid prototyping and for teams to get from the point where they just have an idea to having an actual product."
"Stitch can be improved by being able to connect the design system to it, and being able to design any components from that design system would be the best improvement."
 

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 general, Compuware tools are very competitive."
"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 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."
