What is BMC AMI Strobe?

BMC AMI Strobe is application performance measurement for mainframe programs, and it answers a narrower question than a systems monitor: not whether the machine is healthy, but which lines of application code are consuming the resource. It profiles a running job or transaction and reports where the time actually goes.

Its history matters when searching for it. The product originated at Compuware, which BMC acquired, and it appeared for a period as BMC Compuware Strobe before settling on the AMI branding used today. BMC's own back catalogue of training videos still carries the Compuware Strobe name, so material under that title is the same product. It sits alongside BMC AMI Ops in the mainframe portfolio, with Ops covering systems monitoring and Strobe covering application-level profiling. BMC does not publish pricing, offering free trials and demos with pricing on request.

BMC AMI Strobe FAQs

BMC AMI Strobe is a mainframe application performance measurement tool. It profiles running programs to show which code is consuming CPU and other resources, rather than monitoring system health.

Yes. Strobe originated at Compuware, which BMC acquired. It appeared for a time as BMC Compuware Strobe and is now branded BMC AMI Strobe. Older material under the Compuware name refers to the same product.

AMI Ops monitors systems and subsystems for operational health. Strobe profiles application code to show where processing time is spent, which is a development and optimisation concern rather than an operations one.

Mainframe costs are closely tied to CPU consumption, so identifying and fixing inefficient code has a direct financial effect rather than only a performance one.

BMC does not publish pricing. Free trials and demos are available and licensing is quoted on request.
