What do you like best about the product?
I like the industry benchmarking feature in BMC Compuware zAdviser. It's probably the coolest part because not only does it show our data, but it also lets us compare our performance against other organizations using the tool. It's really helpful as it gives us a performance tier ranking—'High, Medium, or Low,' which is super useful for reporting to executives. I also appreciate the 'Shift-Left' quality insights, particularly the Escaped Abend Ratio. It tracks crashes that happen in production versus those caught in testing, and seeing this metric drop over time proves our modernization efforts like automated testing are actually working.
What do you dislike about the product?
BMC Compuware zAdviser is most effective when you're using the full BMC AMI DevX suite. If you use a mix of vendors, zAdviser can feel 'blind' to those activities. It would be better with more robust 'plug-and-play' connectors for non-BMC tools to make it a true universal DevOps dashboard. Also, while the standard dashboards are great out of the box, tailoring them to unique organizational structures can be difficult. Limited customization and a steep learning curve make it hard to create highly specific views without deep technical knowledge of the underlying data schemas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
BMC Compuware zAdviser helps shift from 'gut feelings' to data-backed decisions, pinpointing where code stalls in the lifecycle and replacing guesses with accurate DORA Metrics like Deployment Frequency and Change Failure Rate.

What do you like best about the product?
Topaz has been particularly useful to us regarding testing on mainframes. The environment virtualization that the unit testing affords to brokers is the greatest since it offers good isolation and control hence encompassing facilitation of debugging.
What do you dislike about the product?
Topaz does not include features for integrating tests into our mobile CI/CD applications. This actually means that it needs additional tools and workarounds to be accomplished and this slows down the flow of the testing process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Topaz, we feel that the quality and efficiency of our mainframe testing has greatly enhanced. Thus, automated testing of different types helps to identify issues in the development cycle and prevent defects to be released into production.

Good for large amounts of data and has a variety of use cases but can be complex to use
Reviewed on Jul 02, 2024
Review from a verified AWS customer
What is our primary use case?
We do development for our customers and we use Topaz to do backend systems for some Latin American banks. It's for enterprise data. It runs on AWS. I'm working on performance testing to do batch performance tests doing step functions with AWS for processes running through the database.
How has it helped my organization?
The enterprise data is mostly for web applications and users are mostly online. There are long-term processes or transactions. The solution helps with a variety of use cases.
What is most valuable?
Users don't have to pay for on-prem servers. The application is mostly in the cloud. It can be used across many countries. It doesn't matter where you are, you can use the application anywhere, anytime.
The solution does handle large amounts of data. Banking systems always have big data that takes a lot of time to get processed.
Test data management capabilities are good. Sometimes it can be difficult to align with the requirements of the customer as it isn't exactly like transactional data.
What needs improvement?
It's a very complicated tool.
Sometimes the customer wants better, faster transaction times. They want the solution to move as fast as possible. We're trying to scale and grow our application with more servers to get the level of speed desired. Everything from small processes to big batch processing needs to be faster.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using the solution for three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is stable for the most part. Mostly it is stable. Sometimes, if you have a beta version, it's not so stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The scalablity is great and it scales well within AWS. You do have to understand the scalability within those systems, and you have to understand the network and how much processing you need, et cetera.
We have thousands of users.
How was the initial setup?
A lot of pipelines are executed during the installation process. The setup can be complex, depending on the parameters and requirements. Each pipeline could take an hour or more to implement. The compiling and testing processes take time. The security requirements and availability of the system are things that need to be considered at the outset.
Maintenance is a big deal in the company I work with. The processes sometimes change from time to time and we need to adjust.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I don't directly deal with the pricing side of the solution.
What other advice do I have?
We use various versions of the solution.
I'd rate the solution overall at a seven out of ten.
