Find out in this report how the two Event Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"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."
"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."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."
"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."
"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 would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"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."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"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."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"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."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
