Helps to make mainframe data management process easier and saves manhours

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We had parallel development before, but the way ISPW implements it is better. It has more control and oversight of the process, whereas before, it was like the Wild West. Everybody could have their own package with their own version of the component in it... ISPW is constantly aware of it. It notifies when someone else is using or has a different version of that component."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."

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

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

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"It is a scalable solution."

"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."

"Easy integration with Salesforce"

"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."

"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."

"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."

"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."

"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."

Cons

"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."

"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?"

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

"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."

"I'm always looking for improvement in things like the documentation, to make things a little bit easier and simpler to understand, a place where people can go to troubleshoot issues."

"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."

"Technical support has gotten better over the years, though there's always room for improvement."

"It would be nice to have an audit trail to see what mainframe developers are using what."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."

"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."

"Its API management capabilities need improvement."

"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."

"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."

"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."

"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."

"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."

"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."

"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."

"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."
