Easy to install and use with good support and
It's too early to say what improvements are needed, but I can only say we are happy with our decision to move to TMON. We haven't looked at the graphic tools so far, but they're on our to-do list for this year. We will see what happens after the move to Rocket Software. We haven't seen any missing information about our daily work and analysis of our production systems and applications. We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload.

Unified monitoring has reduced downtime and improves early detection of critical CPU issues
BMC AMI Ops offers excellent features including real-time monitoring, performance dashboard, and intelligent alerts, plus the automation capabilities we are using. It is easily accessible with visibility across multiple systems. I rely most heavily on the performance dashboard and real-time monitoring. The real-time monitoring and alerts keep us informed about problems immediately rather than waiting for users to report issues. BMC AMI Ops has impacted my organization very positively, primarily in terms of timing. Our manpower previously was required to investigate issues, which took considerable time just to identify the problem. Now we identify issues very early and solve them immediately. The positive outcomes include mainly reduced downtime and improved efficiency of our manpower. Earlier, when users reported high-priority issues, we had to spend extensive time investigating, resulting in system downtime. Now everything is much easier with BMC AMI Ops. Regarding BMC AMI Ops's AI capabilities, I believe its governance and security are very strong. We are currently handling almost eighty percent of our projects with it, and it is very stable with enterprise-level performance, including strong role-based access and monitoring capability. BMC AMI Ops is very reliable. The monitoring data is accurate, and the alerts are very specific and timely.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The report writer in TMON is a very good add-on for batch reports which weren't available in OmegaMon/CICS."
"Batch smoothing our 4HRA and implementation of group capacity profiles has allowed us to run sub-capacity and lower our MLC."
"BMC AMI Ops positively impacted my organization during the evaluation phase, with the main benefit being improved visibility into the mainframe environment by providing a clear view of alerts and system status."
"MainView has enabled me, in the past, to solve production problems faster, or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."
"BMC AMI Ops has improved outcomes for my team, and it has definitely improved outcomes for the clients that we serve."
"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."
"The automation capabilities have reduced the majority of the work that our team used to do manually, as manual processes consume a lot of time and are prone to human error, and when it comes to automation, we see the performance has been raised, clients are also satisfied with the performance, we do not have much downtime or any critical issues that are highlighted which impact the business, and automation has really changed and is a game changer for us."
"BMC AMI Ops has impacted my organization very positively, primarily in terms of timing, with positive outcomes including reduced downtime and improved efficiency of our manpower."
"BMC AMI Ops has positively impacted my organization in multiple ways, especially in automation, as we do not have to manually run or search for or run scripts."
 

Cons

"We're like it to be possible to move some more workload to our ZIIP processors to save us some billing for general workload."
"My experience with BMC AMI Ops was limited, but during this evaluation, I believe it could be improved by making some features easier for new users to understand, probably with better guidance or more practical examples."
"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."
"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."
"I would like to see more AI in BMC AMI Ops, such as an AI feature that lets you keep track of storage in some way, perhaps some kind of automatic disk cleanup."
"BMC AMI Ops can be improved by offering a more modern user interface and better dashboard customization."
"Regarding needed improvements, by default, when we open a viewpoint, we don't see the jobs in a linear way."
"The alerting system could be improved."
