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."

More BMC MainView Pros →

"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."

More IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Pros →

"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up.""​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.""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.""The performance of it is beyond exceptional. It is probably one of the best products that I have ever worked with. It is easy to use, comprehensive, and can perform almost any task you need it to.""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.""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.""It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."

More OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence Pros →

Cons
"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable.""More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."

More BMC MainView Cons →

"We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information."

More IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Cons →

"​It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process.​""Some of the command sequences are too long.""Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age.""Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions.""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.""The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into.""The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script.​""It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."

    Overview

    To keep your business running smoothly, you need mainframe management that does more than just monitor and display. BMC MainView gives you the power to diagnose problems, minimize risk, and cut costs.

    • Lower costs with more efficient monitoring.
    • Find and fix problems early to prevent costly outages and slowdowns.
    • Improve availability and productivity by automating and simplifying performance tasks.
    • Streamline application performance tuning using BMC's seamless integration with Compuware Strobe.

    IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS is designed to provide real-time and historical performance and availability management. It offers these capabilities for IBM z/OS operating system, networks, storage subsystems, Java runtimes, IBM DB2, IBM CICS, IBM IMS, IBM MQ for z/OS and IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS in a single package. Optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of managing z/OS environments with a powerful, integrated tool set.

    OMEGAMON Performance Management Suite for z/OS is available as part of IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS. IBM Service Management Suite for z/OS includes IBM Service Management Unite—a service management dashboard that brings mainframe management information and tasks from disparate sources into a single environment.

    z/OS, its subsystems, databases, middleware, applications, and software generate thousands of event messages daily. IT professionals need a tool to filter, prioritize, and respond quickly to these events before they impact availability and threaten business processing and associated service level agreements. CA OPS/MVS EMA automates processes, enabling you to resolve problems as they arise. It also automates more routine tasks, simplifying IT management and operations.
