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."
"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."
"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."
"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."
"​The follow-up surprised me. Making sure that I am happy with what I have gone to them on. They will call after I have made changes and verify that I am happy with the changes that I did have to make. If it did not fix the complete problem, they go back over it until I am satisfied.​"
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
 

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."
"I think, for me, I’d like to see more of its web base."
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"With stability, sometimes we do have problems with this product."
"One of the things we've been wanting to do is to be able to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The only issue we have is when we try to integrate with common services."
"I've seen a mobile app that allows you to get the system status from your phone. That's a really nice feature that I’d like to see."
"I think some of their built-in functions are short on functionality."
