"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."
"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."
"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."
"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."
"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"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 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."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"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."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."
"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."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"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."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."

IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON is rated 5.0, while OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence is rated 9.4. The top reviewer of IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON writes "Good stability but it is lacking the ability to see historical information ". On the other hand, the top reviewer of OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence writes "The ability to use command rules is great when our operators have repetitive tasks, but we'd like to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is". IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON is most compared with BMC MainView, Rocket Software Mainframe, SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence and ASG TMON, whereas OPS/MVS Automation Intelligence is most compared with BMC MainView, BMC TrueSight Operations Management and SCOM.
