BMC AMI Data Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.
