Improves disaster recovery processes and offers an efficient CPU cycle optimization

Using BMC Data Management for IMS and DB2 on z/OS has greatly improved our database administration tasks. Although we don't test the database before production, we have experienced benefits in disaster recovery situations and capacity management. For instance, when facing capacity issues during peak transaction times, I've been able to quickly allocate additional resources to ensure smooth operations. This has been crucial, especially during times when the demand surges, such as peak flight hours.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The smart editor helps because it will code-complete for me. I can see code working a lot faster and I'm able to get things coded in less time."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 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."

More BMC AMI DevX pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is the warehousing model."

"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."

"If the priority is to find the best tool that can be relied on with less maintenance and good performance, Teradata is definitely a good option, but again, homework must be done to see which one suits the data workloads."

"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."

"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."

"The functionality of the solution is excellent."

"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."

"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."

More Teradata pros

Cons

"The solution could be improved by being better integrated with the open world. In the next release, I would like to have the ability to work in an open environment whilst remaining integrated with the legacy environment."

"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."

"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."

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

"It's a very complicated tool."

"The ability to edit source code that has special characters is limited. The ability to incorporate or convert REXX into macros that are usable under the Topaz software is not there. And the REXX macros that I have developed over 40 years of work are useless, so I have a toolbox I can't use or deploy using the Topaz technology, while I can use it under MVS."

"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."

More BMC AMI DevX cons

"From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."

"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."

"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."

"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."

"One challenge I have faced regarding the main use case is the integration with AI, as Teradata does not have the AI models that other OLAP systems such as BigQuery provide, making it difficult for us to give proper recommendations without using different tools for AI integration."

"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."

"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."

"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."

More Teradata cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I like the seat-based licensing much more than MSU-based licensing, and that the cost has been competitive."

"In general, Compuware tools are very competitive."

"The price point is great."

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

"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 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."

"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."

"I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services."

"The cost is significantly high."

"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."

"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."

"When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise."

"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
