Strong Network allows the management of containers for DevOps online (as opposed to locally on developers laptop) and access them through a cloud IDE or a SSH connection (in the case of a local IDE). These containers provide management of access keys and credentials to multiple types of resources, in addition to providing data loss prevention (DLP). In addition, the solution combines the IDE with a secure chrome browser (remote browser isolation) such that any third party applications for DevOps…

I'm not sure what scenario it would not be suitable for. I have it up all day, though I do use the mainframe emulator to go back to the old 'green screen'. We have tools that we must use there. There is very little I can't do on the workbench. I'm trying to get some of our new developers to use it, as when I'm using it and talking to them on the phone, they don't know what I'm talking about.

Pros
BMC Software Inc.
  • Extract/load data from one DB or table to another masking the data for testing.
  • Compare extracts against each other to ensure good baselines.

Cons
BMC Software Inc.
  • We use CA Librarian here, and the workbench doesn't play well with that. I can't view the library my source is in; I have to copy it to a PDS.
  • I frequently make some copies of files on my own. I do each file at a time. The ability to create a macro to do all of them at once would be nice. Currently, I click the file and click 'copy to', then fill out the info for each file.

Support Rating
BMC Software Inc.
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.

Optim is more user friendly in how it operates, in my opinion. It's less obtuse to figure out how to extract and mask the data required compared to File-AID. Further, Optim is easier to gather related tables, by far. I do prefer using File-AID via the Topaz GUI much more than using Optim via its GUI. Finally, I personally believe that File-AID is significantly faster to run than Optim - this could be a configuration issue.

Return on Investment
BMC Software Inc.
  • I can debug (expeditor) much faster and more efficiently. In fact, I was asked yesterday to run their job through Workbench Expeditor. I can also view data movement much better.
  • Code analysis lets me give a quicker explanation of what a program may do, as it provides a graphical interface showing processing and data movement.
