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.

Monitoring has improved mainframe visibility and enables faster performance troubleshooting
BMC AMI Ops is useful for monitoring, but the interface can take some time for new users to understand. I would prefer to see a more modern and intuitive UI with simpler navigation. The product could also make troubleshooting easier by providing more consolidated information. Better dashboards and more customizable alerts would help the team focus on the most important issues without having to move to multiple screens. Improved documentation and more guided workflows for common troubleshooting scenarios would also be helpful for new users. Another important improvement would be making the product easier for new team members to learn. Some of the monitoring options and views take time to understand, especially when troubleshooting an unfamiliar issue. A more simplified dashboard, clearer navigation, and better guidance around alerts would make the day-to-day experience smoother. It would also be useful to have more flexibility in customization, so each team can focus on the metrics and alerts that are most relevant to their environment.

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."
"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."
"BMC AMI Ops has improved outcomes for my team, and it has definitely improved outcomes for the clients that we serve."
"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."
"MainView has enabled me, in the past, to solve production problems faster, or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."
"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 provides real-time monitoring, including alert and event management, allowing for quick investigation of system conditions, and this real-time capability is incredibly useful as it helps ensure our production is up and running while quickly identifying resource consumption issues."
"BMC AMI Ops has broader features, helps streamline our processes smoothly, and it has zero downtime while upgrading and better notification, which is really helpful for us."
 

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."
"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."
"Regarding needed improvements, by default, when we open a viewpoint, we don't see the jobs in a linear way."
"BMC AMI Ops is useful for monitoring, but the interface can take some time for new users to understand."
"The alerting system could be improved."
"BMC AMI Ops can be improved by offering a more modern user interface and better dashboard customization."
"Customer support is good, but sometimes we receive less interactive solutions, so we occasionally do not get the answers we need."
"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."
