It's too early to say what improvements are needed, but I can only say we are happy with our decision to move to TMON. We haven't looked at the graphic tools so far, but they're on our to-do list for this year. We will see what happens after the move to Rocket Software. We haven't seen any missing information about our daily work and analysis of our production systems and applications. We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload.

Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings

MainView is used as a central point of view to control and monitor systems on the mainframe like z/OS, CICS, MQSeries IMS, or DB2. MainView has enabled me, in the past, to solve production problems faster, or even avoid them preemptively with warnings. The integration of IMS commands is very…

Good stability but it is lacking the ability to see historical information

We can only see online information but there isn't any historical data to see something that happened a few hours previous. We don't have the ability to access that information. Previously, with MainView, we could look back at information from two days before and get information. We could easily get information from Plexus. Now, we don't have a single screen to check which has been annoying. Compared to MainView, Tivoli is rubbish. We are forced to use this solution. We couldn't stay with MainView. I would like for it to be easier to check the system performance. It should have the ability to see historical data. We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information.

Cons

"We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload."

"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."
