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.

Individual rules for various events can be updated in flight without bouncing the product.

Technical support tends to be good. Sometimes first-level support seem to have trouble understanding an issue when we first present it, but once we push it to second-level, they quickly grasp the nature of our issues and get to work on them. Crit 1 & 2 issues go straight to second-level support. Sometimes a fix is already available and we have somehow neglected to apply a PTF. Otherwise, we can usually expect a fix to be written, tested and sent out within a very few days. CA are not averse to joining international conference calls to get to the root of a problem.

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

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

"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."

"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."

"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."

"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."

"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."

"The documentation is simple, easy to follow, and use. A limited, first-time systems programmer can do it, in that it is out-of-the-box almost functional."

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."

"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."

"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."

"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."

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

"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."

"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."
