Overall Satisfaction with BMC AMI DevX

BMC AMI DevX is used very widely in the organisation to view/edit flat and VSAM files. Developers rely heavily on the ability to see data in a formatted fashion and modify if needed.

Pros

  • Editing VSAM files with File Aid using copybooks

Cons

  • File Aid DB2 could be improved for scrolling
  • I don't know if we have measured any productivity improvement but absent this tool it would be quite difficult to work with VSAM
Our mainframe team is shrinking daily. ANd the developers who are left are mostly doing the same thing they have done for the last 10-15 years.
we used to use Compuware Strobe extensively to monitor performance

Do you think BMC AMI DevX delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with BMC AMI DevX's feature set?

Yes

Did BMC AMI DevX live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BMC AMI DevX go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy BMC AMI DevX again?

Yes

We only use BMC AMI DevX for viewing/editing files. We don't even use File Aid/DB2 too much.
