Remain Software

Overview

Remain Software is an independent in software change management, DevOps, and modernization for IBM i and Multi- platform.

Archie's take

Remain Software is a go-to solution for organizations running critical workloads on IBM i (AS/400) who need robust change management, DevOps automation, and modernization tools. Its standout strength is deep, native integration with IBM i environments, offering granular control over application lifecycle management and seamless support for hybrid, multi-platform development. However, it's a niche product—if your stack isn't IBM i-centric, you'll find limited value, and the learning curve can be steep for teams new to this ecosystem. Pricing is enterprise-oriented, so it's best justified for organizations with significant IBM i investments and complex compliance or modernization needs.
