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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Topaz workbench is one of the most integrated into Eclipse that I've seen from the mainframe vendors."
"My guess is this would have taken twice as long, or we would have had many more issues without using Xpediter."
"The most valuable feature of Topaz is Xpediter, it's more flexible than Xpediter through MVS."
"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."
"Once we got the configurations and deployment rolled out, it was very stable. I haven't had any major issues with Eclipse or the Topaz Workbench plugins."
"It's a modernized development portal and helps reduce the learning curve for younger people coming in to work on the platform,"
"I like the ability that it has to format copy books in a presentable manner. So, you will be able to see the starting offset in length of each field within the layout."
"The debugging is really the most important feature, enabling us to be able to step through."
"The pre-configured connectors to systems like SAP and Salesforce make it extremely easy for someone who wants to integrate these two systems."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"Jitterbit allows us to query databases and web services, manipulate and organize data, and track the flow and the states of different processes."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"Easy integration with Salesforce Point and click Wizards"
"As a Salesforce implementation partner, Jitterbit is our go to recommendation when it comes to Salesforce integration with other systems because of its streamlined, easy UI and wizard-based configuration."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
 

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."
"Topaz Workbench often doesn't play well with other plugins in the environment."
"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."
"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."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it."
"We plan to replace BMC Compuware File-AID due to its price. Two years back, we paid 11,000 dollars. However, the current price is 27,900 dollars. The price has increased to at least eight times its initial cost. We would need to pay around 60,000 dollars to have all three products together. We also encountered issues during version updates."
"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."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"The only thing I would possibly change is the UI."
"We have experienced some scalability issues, i.e., notably around advanced data transformation, manipulations, and cleansing, which Jitterbit can't do."
"Debugging: There should be a better way to track variable values during debugging. The need to print each log is frustrating when you encounter issues."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In general, Compuware tools are very 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."
"The price point is great."
"I like the seat-based licensing much more than MSU-based licensing, and that the cost has been 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 solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
