I love these tools! However, my company has not yet transitioned from SCLM to a modern repository, and this is causing most of our developers to remain within TSO for all their development. It's been a slow adoption up to this point, but we are moving toward more modernization this year and next, so with any luck, we'll see usage pick up. Success depends on the speed at which your management is willing to move.

Pros
BMC Software Inc.
  • The tool I use is fairly intuitive. It doesn't take long to be using it full time.
  • Changing the layout/view is fairly easy. This allows it to fit individual preferences.
  • It is helpful to be able to view specific windows in full screen. Usually, I have it set up to view multiple windows, but sometimes, I just want to view one window in full-screen mode.

Support Rating

Support has been amazing compared to Optim. Further, new features are very regular with File-AID - I can't remember the last time Optim had a significant update. File-AID support is very receptive to feature requests and reported bugs, including sending out hotfixes quickly.

The names may have changed over the years, but anyone who has been around for a while will recognize them. For Software Configuration Management, I have used TSO/ISPF/SCLM, Panvalet, ChangeMan, Librarian, Endevor, and now Code Pipeline. All of them met the basic requirements. All of them had their advantages and disadvantages. Code Pipeline, however, stands head and shoulders above the rest in simplicity, completeness, effectiveness, efficiency, and elegance.

Much more advanced and customizable than iterations of the above tools I've used. But more focused on Flow metrics than others. And more complex, IMO.

Screenshot of Portfolio Insights consolidates the highlights from a product line, portfolio, group, or department.Screenshot of The Flow Metrics dashboard visualizes and measures product value streams. Out-of-the-box metrics and analytics reveal problem areas, illuminate dependencies, and guide investment to improve speed, velocity, and quality.Screenshot of The Flow Modeler is a visual layout of the end-to-end workflow of an entire value stream, from customer request to customer delivery. Flow Modeler builds the value stream map directly from the data in the user's tools and shows in real-time where bottlenecks are emerging.Screenshot of An easy-to-read Neglected Work Work in Progress (WIP) graph alerts you when value streams have taken on more work than they can deliver.Screenshot of Business-aligned visibility into value delivery aligns teams to measurable outcomes. Flow Metrics alone do not help an organization accelerate value delivery - they must be evaluated against business results. Business and technology teams can work toward a single set of goals and align around a joint set of outcomes.
