Faster root cause identification helped me resolve incidents more consistently and reduced the amount of manual debugging effort.
I have seen debugging time decrease by around 20 to 30% because I can trace the COBOL programs and also inspect the variables.
The incidents have disappeared completely since I have been using Striim.
Striim's continuous pipeline safely processes millions of daily transactions without data loss; my organization had millions of transactions every day and even in real-time, so it was quite good.
Since it is now one to two hours, I would say it has saved employee hours and time.
Every time I open a case, I get an immediate response.
BMC AMI DevX's technical support responds very well and takes all cases seriously.
I think the hybrid CI/CD integration with existing enterprise DevOps tools in BMC AMI DevX is very good.
They are all knowledgeable about what they do.
When you contact them, they give you a response straight away and help you identify the issue and fix it.
The customer support has been excellent, and their engineers actually understand z/OS architecture and DB2 logs.
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.
It can support multiple developers for COBOL applications as they debug different problems without changing the overall development process.
It has been scalable for our mainframe development and support needs, handling large COBOL programs and large workloads.
Our licensing was based on the number of cores, so even if we have a high number of events on any given day, our license cost would not go high.
I would describe the scalability of Striim as very good, as it adapts well.
Striim can handle the data volumes effectively, but it can struggle a little bit if the data volume is too high.
I would rate BMC AMI DevX as a stable solution that I have been using for years and find working fine.
BMC AMI DevX is very stable for a modern application processing huge workloads.
It has been reliable for COBOL debugging, code analysis, and troubleshooting production incidents.
That problem has been completely resolved with Striim.
Striim was very stable.
In my experience, Striim is mostly stable.
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.
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.
To improve BMC AMI DevX, consideration should be given to cloud-style provisioning and development models, as well as integration of more AI capabilities.
I believe if Striim could use some part of AWS secrets or its own secret mechanism to store the password, that would really save a lot of time so that I don't have to keep updating the password whenever there is any change.
They could improve the documentation by showing how to configure with different platforms.
I think Striim could be improved with better pricing and enhanced documentation.
Licensing was a bit more expensive because Striim has to read from Oracle GoldenGate trail files and also integrate them.
My experience with the pricing, implementation cost, and licensing of Striim is that it is somewhat expensive.
It's very fair.
The CI/CD offering allows integration of quality checks and unit test processes into the pipeline, which improves compliance and enhances productivity, enabling developers to focus on development while the pipeline automates integration.
BMC AMI DevX's tools have affected my developers' productivity and efficiency by helping with the speed.
BMC AMI DevX positively impacts my organization with its modern VS Code and Eclipse development environment, integrated debugging, AI-assisted code understanding, automated CI/CD pipelines, and end-to-end mainframe DevOps workflow.
Striim is capable of absorbing a large number of transactions, and the difference between the two databases is always less than a second, which demonstrates efficiency.
There were significant improvements because once we enabled change data capture, the database was not going down at all.
It reduces manual intervention because it automatically syncs the data from the warehouse.
