Overall Satisfaction with Compuware File-AID
Currently using File-AID across our org. We're mostly using it for creating test data and compares.
- Extract/load data from one DB or table to another masking the data for testing.
- Compare extracts against each other to ensure good baselines.
- I find it more obtuse to use than IBM Optim.
- Related tables are difficult to incorporate.
- Saves time creating production like data for testing.
- Keeps that data safe from developers and need-to-know only.
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.
