    It is well suited for cases we use very often in IT, which is deploying the same set of configuration across tens of network devices. By creating the template config on ManageEngine Network Configuration Management, these config can be deployed on multiple nodes at once. Backup and reporting is vital as well, in addition to the restore capabilities.

    Rocket Aldon is perfect for simple changes to traditional IBM i development using RPGLE, CL, and DDS. It is great for finding related objects that are referenced in many locations and helping recompile all of these objects. However, Aldon has a particularly hard time with SQL views. For some reason, it is determined to lock every table related to a view even though this is not required by the operating system. Whenever one view references another view, you are always in danger of losing a view permanently if you didn't check it out and promote it. To clarify, imagine you created a view CUSTOMER_INFO. Then you make another view called CUSTOMER_SHIPMENTS that joins the CUSTOMER_INFO to a shipping table. If you ever change CUSTOMER_INFO and then promote it, there is a good chance that Aldon will delete the CUSTOMER_SHIPMENTS view and you will not get a single warning. It doesn't happen every time but when it does you are going to have a real mess on your hands.

    Cons
    ManageEngine A Div of Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd
    • If the developers can make the initial setup more simplified, it will be great. Due to the complexity of the initial setup and tweaking, it takes more time than the planned period.

    Support is hit and miss. Sometimes they give some great assistance and sometimes they are no help at all. It always seems like they can't replicate the problem but then they never try to get on our system to do deeper research. It's kind of frustrating dealing with them. Also, the website isn't that helpful.
