Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"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."
"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."
"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."
"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 a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"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."
"VictorOps has been good enough for us and it's effective for our needs in case of an on-call escalation process."
"The alert calling feature is the best because notifications are delivered via phone messages."
"Transmogrifier and automatic solution report gives me a report with the solution and the way to solve issues when an error occurred."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is helpdesk escalation."
"The flexible schedule is the most valuable feature. It was very easy to set out a rotation."
"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."
"Some of the command sequences are too long."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
"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."
"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"There could be improvements with communicating an incident or alert."
"At that stage, all our needs are fulfilled, but at the beginning, we had some feature requests and they were deployed during their roadmap."
"Should have more YouTube webinars."
"The solution can be improved by including a wider list of permissions."
"The third-party configuration tool could be easier to use."
