Tight deployment controls have secured production and simplified complex release rollbacks

The best feature of BMC AMI DevX Code Pipeline that impresses me is the fallback functionality. The fallback functionality impresses me because when developers deploy large releases involving multiple components, such as COBOL programs, underlying copy books, and CICS modules, backing out changes would typically become a nightmare. With ISPW, developers can back out the entire release or entire package. If they deployed 100 components and want to back out everything, they can do so with one function and back out all components without worrying about backing out each individual component. They can back out the entire deployment set, which handles everything and brings them back to the previous versions. Developers can also selectively back out a subset of the deployed components. They also have the ability to revert to not just the most previous version but can go back several versions if they choose to do so. This gives them a lot of flexibility.

Managed vector search has reduced infrastructure overhead and empowers faster AI workloads

Zilliz Cloud has allowed us to focus on building the AI products without the overhead of operating vector database infrastructure. The best features Zilliz Cloud offers, in my opinion, include high-performance similarity search, managed infrastructure for cluster maintaining, infrastructure scaling, backup management, storage planning, Milvus compatibility, and metadata filtering. The offering of this managed infrastructure of a vector database is most useful for me, and the high-performance similarity search is useful in my case. Regarding the similarity search, it delivers low latency retrieval and maintains strong relevance in returned units, which is particularly useful for me. Zilliz Cloud has positively impacted my organization because initially, we spent too much time hosting self-hosted Milvus and planning for infrastructure that did not yield very useful results. Now, we do not have the overhead of managing infrastructure for my vector database, so we can directly focus on building our RAG system and AI workload. Time saved is the first and foremost outcome since all the time we invested in self-hosting Milvus has been redirected towards building the AI workloads. Time has definitely been saved, which is the primary benefit of using Zilliz Cloud.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"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."

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

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

"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."

"ISPW is an excellent product; it does everything the developers need it to do, we were able to build it and customize it very simply as we became more familiar with how the system works during installation, and it doesn't need a lot of care and feeding once it's up and running."

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

"Compuware Xpediter is one of the best debugging tools for mainframe software development."

"Test data management capabilities are good."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"The best feature of Zilliz Cloud is that it helps in very high-performance vector search, and it is also very scalable, with very low latency that helps provide faster results."

"Zilliz Cloud has allowed us to focus on building the AI products without the overhead of operating vector database infrastructure."

Cons

"There are some features that are not well documented, so documentation could use a little help, on things like setting up deployment and which structures in the database correspond to which tables."

"Their technical support could be better."

"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."

"Initial setup can be tricky in some cases."

"It's not as intuitive as it should be. In terms of navigation, there is a large training curve for using it. For a millennial it might be better, if they're used to Eclipse. But coming from a non-Eclipse environment and using Eclipse, though I have experience with Eclipse, it might be cumbersome."

"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."

"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."

"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

"It can be improved a little bit on the search functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has saved our developers time and effort when working on documentation, which is now more readable and fluent."

"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."

"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."
