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

"Test data management capabilities are good."

"It's a modernized development portal and helps reduce the learning curve for younger people coming in to work on the platform,"

"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."

"We can develop in parallel today on ISPF, but it's giving us the advantage of the newer interface into the mainframe programming languages that younger programmers can use and are familiar with, rather than using the ISPF green screen."

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

"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."

"It does our CICS NEWCOPYs and our Db2 binds for us, whereas before, that was a manual process. It takes a lot of the workload off of the operations folks and off the DBAs."

"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."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."

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

"It is a scalable solution."

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

"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."

"Easy integration with Salesforce"

"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."

More Jitterbit Harmony pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"It's a very complicated tool."

"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."

"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."

"The area for improvement is related to the testing tools that are available for unit testing or acceptance testing. I know they have some out there that we are not licensed for at this time, but it seems like some of the Eclipse tools that are used for other programming languages, they're all just built-in and they're a little more intuitive to the developers. Making those testing tools as intuitive as possible, and as integrated as possible into the workbench, would be really beneficial."

"It often doesn't play well with other plugins in the environment."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."

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

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

"Its API management capabilities need improvement."

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

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

"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."

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

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."

"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."

"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"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."

"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."

"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."

"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"

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

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