User Testimonials
	Cycloid Platform Engineering	Rocket DevOps
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	Rocket Aldon is perfect for simple changes to traditional IBM i development using RPGLE, CL, and DDS. It is great for finding related objects that are referenced in many locations and helping recompile all of these objects. However, Aldon has a particularly hard time with SQL views. For some reason, it is determined to lock every table related to a view even though this is not required by the operating system. Whenever one view references another view, you are always in danger of losing a view permanently if you didn't check it out and promote it. To clarify, imagine you created a view CUSTOMER_INFO. Then you make another view called CUSTOMER_SHIPMENTS that joins the CUSTOMER_INFO to a shipping table. If you ever change CUSTOMER_INFO and then promote it, there is a good chance that Aldon will delete the CUSTOMER_SHIPMENTS view and you will not get a single warning. It doesn't happen every time but when it does you are going to have a real mess on your hands. Incentivized Stewart Locklear Senior Information Technology Project Manager Read full review

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Support is hit and miss. Sometimes they give some great assistance and sometimes they are no help at all. It always seems like they can't replicate the problem but then they never try to get on our system to do deeper research. It's kind of frustrating dealing with them. Also, the website isn't that helpful. Incentivized Stewart Locklear Senior Information Technology Project Manager Read full review

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Software promotion is much easier and doesn't require custom coding. Developers can work collaboratively with less overlap. Developers can find objects faster and research code more thoroughly. Incentivized Stewart Locklear Senior Information Technology Project Manager Read full review
