Roland Schiradin - PeerSpot reviewer
CICS Sysprog DB2-Admin at ITZ
Easy to install and use with good support and
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.

Real-time monitoring has improved incident response but still needs built-in history and prediction
A long-term performance database in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence would be beneficial to see historical performance for the long term and observe trends. Currently, a program must be created to gather data, and it should be part of the product with a built-in database inside SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence so that a custom program to gather data and keep it somewhere is not necessary. Prediction capability is not available in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence—the kind of machine learning intelligence desired, such as the ability to predict patterns or seasonality or month-end behavior. However, if there is a chance to use WatchTower, this ability might be gained.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The report writer in TMON is a very good add-on for batch reports which weren't available in OmegaMon/CICS."
"We find the predictive analytics to be the most valuable feature."
"Using SYSVIEW means we have to bug our tech support a lot less."
"Between the tech support and the person I was working with, they have been extraordinary."
"I also really appreciated all the work that everybody did to get it functional for JES3, and they continue to do so, even though IBM said they are going to do away with JES3."
"This does pretty much the same thing that MainView does at a cheaper cost."
"Customer Service: Excellent. No problem with asking How-To questions."
"This is our primary performance monitor; it replaced BMC Mainview and is much easier to install and maintain, with most of what we need in this single product."
"It provides much more info regarding the mainframe and interfaces, with ease of use (menus); has many more options available compared to the previous product."
 

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."
"Having spoken with the product owner, we discussed the interests of being able to identify the unit of work ID giving us the ability to correlate transactions that cross technologies."
"If a unit of work ID is associated with a CICS, a DB2, and a MQ transaction, and having that capability correlate to those different technologies via one business application transaction which would be beneficial."
"I think really in the line of IMS and what it can provide needs to be expanded a little bit for some of our purposes."
"The creation of dashboards could be made much easier, such as the way it is done in BMCs MainView for example."
"As for the JES2 component of the product, CA might improve the overall performance when accessing the JES2 spool."
"The documentation format could be better. I noticed with the last release that all of the manuals were bundled into one. It used to have a separate installation guide, user guide, etc."
"The actual product install is very simple. The web interface install is far from easy."
"I would like to see better web browser support that display views, reports, and graphs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is a little steep, but there are a lot of other functions that it brings together. It gives you one window to look through to get to a lot of different features. The more products you have from CA, the better pricing they have, the more you can get them doing more things for you."
