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."
"Thresholds with alerts are valuable, enabling us to fix a problem before it has an impact."
"We have never had any issues with stability; the product runs without any problems and, on the rare occasion that there is a problem, the recovery is really good, so there was never an outage of SYSVIEW at all."
"We were using SDS from IBM; we switched because SYSVIEW is a better product."
"It is a good product for mainframe management."
"Between the tech support and the person I was working with, they have been extraordinary."
"It is always well-maintained and it does everything we ask for it to do."
"We used SYSVIEW to replace CA-LOOK, SAS, MAINVIEW, and could also be used to replace SDSF."
"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."
 

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."
"We would like to see better graphics in the next version, so that even less experienced individuals can find problems without much effort."
"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."
"It confuses a lot of people because there are so many features, but when they see me bouncing around they say, "I didn't know it did that, I didn't know it did that.""
"It is a complex system, though, as every view has a different setting panel. This can be overwhelming for someone coming in, but once you get a grasp of it, it gets easier."
"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."
"It confuses a lot of people because there are so many features, but when they see me bouncing around they say, "I didn't know it did that, I didn't know it did that." It takes a long time to find all the different features that are available."
"It takes a couple of prods once in a while to get technical support going."
"Initial setup was complex."
 

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."
