Implementer

Avantages

Implementer impressed me with how intuitive and user-friendly it was. I immediately picked up how to utilize the platform and was able to get started because it was incredibly simple to comprehend and use. It was also quite simple to enter and track data thanks to the visualizations. In addition, I appreciated having access to the excellent customer service staff anytime I needed help or had issues.

Inconvénients

There are a lot of features and options to understand, therefore I thought the learning curve was a little steep. Also, it wasn't always obvious how to switch between features, and I had a hard time finding the answers to my problems in the documentation.

Avantages

The stop gap solution for Retail, Footwear, Apparel and the beauty of this tool is easy to configure and customize the application for integrating the legacy systems.

Inconvénients

Configuration deployment takes more times than expected and Containerization is difficult followed by any changes to the properties file needs a restart which causes lot of hindrance during feature toggle functionalities.

Avantages

Easy to use with RPG objects.............................................

Inconvénients

Not all SQL objects are handled by Implementer

Avantages

Change management with programs and service programs works great. I like the RDI plugin. For the most part the product documentation is good and an excellent source to find information on how to setup and use Implementer.

Inconvénients

Implementers ability (or lack thereof) to deploy SQL tables/Indexes when the tables have referential integrity. This type of deployment is a major pain. These types of deployments will rarely complete without errors. The error messages don't provide a good explanation of the issue or resolution. My work around is to remove all the constraints prior to deployment and add them back post deployment. Another area I think is lacking is the green screen interface is the only administration option. Having a web based UI to configure/manage Implementer would be a nice enhancement.

Avantages

What I like the most about PTC Implementer is using graphical and host-based user interfaces and being able to implement its necessary simplicity for new users and advanced users.

Inconvénients

some functionality eats all the resources it can on the host machine from which it's being used.
Sometimes it shows poor performance on the host machine.

Inconvénients

noting very good product our developers use it every day we have 4 different developement host systems and we promote to about 26 receiver system and all work very well.

Avantages

Implementer makes it easy to track changes and to keep others from modifying the same object that you are working with. Though it can be done the notifications are there so each person is aware that someone has a change in the queue or is making a change that you need to be aware of. I like that it can be integrated within Rational Developer for i.
With the new upgrade tool it makes it very easy to upgrade the product and to see what updates are available.

Inconvénients

Having to manage it from the green screen is a bit of a hurdle though not difficult. We have had issues with deploying some SQL objects.

Avantages

Implementer is really easy to use; I've onboarded many new developers to use the software, and they became conversant with the use in a short time.

I love the archiving feature, from which I can review many versions of the software revisions, or back out problem code.

Also, the y have terrific support, whether you role is a developer or admin, the PTC support crew respond to the tickets pretty quickly.

Inconvénients

I found it a bit of a learning curve to setup and use ILE modules.
I found the manual outline this in great detail, so I did not reach out to PTC support to resolve this.

What I most like from this product is the easy way the program can be pass to production environment.

Inconvénients

It is dificult to find training and newly documentation with case studies and examples.
