Find out what your peers are saying about BMC, ServiceNow, Microsoft and others in Event Monitoring."It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"OPS/REXX is valuable because it allows us almost unlimited flexibility in automating our system."
"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."
"Stability is probably the best out-of-the-box. Put it in, set it up, and you leave it alone. It works wonderfully."
"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."
"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"We have implemented two-factor authentication, which is a new piece of CA Top Secret."
"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."
"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."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."
"Make sure that there is a post-sale department in your country. We have experienced some post-sale problems to do with integration of CA products into our systems."
"The user interface could be improved. Sometimes, it is not simple to understand where a certain definition should be defined, and I go through a number of screens until I find where to do some of them."
"It would be helpful if they removed limitations on user record sizes."
