Mainframe Support at AG Insurance

Good stability but it is lacking the ability to see historical information

We can only see online information but there isn't any historical data to see something that happened a few hours previous. We don't have the ability to access that information. Previously, with MainView, we could look back at information from two days before and get information. We could easily get information from Plexus. Now, we don't have a single screen to check which has been annoying. Compared to MainView, Tivoli is rubbish. We are forced to use this solution. We couldn't stay with MainView. I would like for it to be easier to check the system performance. It should have the ability to see historical data. 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.

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

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

"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."

"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."

"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."

"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."

"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."

"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."

"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."

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."

"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."

"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 interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."

"Some of the command sequences are too long."

"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."

"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."
