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.

Automation has improved alerts and file handling but script-based setup still needs simplification
OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is the automation tool I use. I think OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is good for creating complex rules because it's coding, but it takes time to learn how to use it. OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence works well if you know the syntax very well and you have experience in creating scripts or REXX syntax; it would be very good and is a good tool, but it takes time to learn, so that is for experienced staff to work with. I would rate the product a six from one to ten. I cannot think of any additional features in the next release of OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence.

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 really do need this product, we have the necessity now because we have implemented for so long that we can't function without this product."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"OPSMVS has made it possible to run our IT systems with fewer staff, due to the level of automation that we are able to use."
"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."
"For what it was produced for, it's an excellent product; it's done everything that we wanted to do with the product and more, which has been a really big help for us."
"What I like about it personally is that I can go out and interrupt what's going on and bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"We went with the best automation solution available."
"I would say yes, definitely use it."
 

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."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"With stability, sometimes we do have problems with this product."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
"It needs to have more compatibility/interfaces to other vendors’ products."
"Performing a stop/restart of OPS/MVS could be a little smoother. Without special coding, some undesired tasks will be started and some necessary tasks will be stopped if we have to bounce OPS/MVS during the day."
"I think some of their built-in functions are short on functionality."
"SSM - when OPSMVS is started, there is a choice of either assuming all microhooks are up or all are down and working from there. It would be better if there was a feature that could discover the true state of every microhook."
"The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product."
