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…

It automates responses, preventing issues from becoming more severe
I just installed version 12.3, which actually already has a number of new features. It's going to make it easier for some of our new users. I'm old-school, I learned it the old way. I actually want to go back and implement it and start doing things the new way. As I need to train people, it's going to make it easier for them and make the learning curve much shorter. The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product. It was old-school. The learning curve was a little bit long in the beginning, but it's really come a long way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."
"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"​It is an easy product to use and it is stable."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."
"​The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."
"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."
"Valuable features include: SSM, which provides for orderly startup and shutdown; OPSLOG, which enables filtering by message-id, and/or jobname(s); Rules, as OPS/REXX interface streamlines deployment, interfaces easily with JES2 and z/OS."

Cons

"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."
"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​"
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you already use other products from BMC, you might be able to get a package deal from BMC's sales department."
