Roland Schiradin - PeerSpot reviewer
CICS Sysprog DB2-Admin at ITZ
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.

System Programmer at Krungsri
Real-time monitoring has improved incident response but still needs built-in history and prediction
A long-term performance database in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence would be beneficial to see historical performance for the long term and observe trends. Currently, a program must be created to gather data, and it should be part of the product with a built-in database inside SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence so that a custom program to gather data and keep it somewhere is not necessary. Prediction capability is not available in SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence—the kind of machine learning intelligence desired, such as the ability to predict patterns or seasonality or month-end behavior. However, if there is a chance to use WatchTower, this ability might be gained.

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."
"It is a very powerful and reliable tool with a relatively easy to follow interface."
"I recommend this product to others due to its easy implementation, comprehensive functionality and good organization of documents."
"We have not had any major issues in approximately 15 years."
"We used SYSVIEW to replace CA-LOOK, SAS, MAINVIEW, and could also be used to replace SDSF."
"When we changed to JES3, the programmers didn't have to know anything. The product provided the same interface with the same look and feel."
"The scalability is absolutely fine."
"SYSVIEW Performance Intelligence's data integration and visualization capabilities have helped improve operational outcomes by reducing the time to respond to incidents because it is a real-time monitor."
"It is always well-maintained and it does everything we ask for it to do."
 

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."
"It confuses a lot of people because there are so many features, but when they see me bouncing around they say, "I didn't know it did that, I didn't know it did that.""
"I would expect this product to be integrated with mainframe Linux system monitoring which is more popular in our mainframe solutions."
"It takes a couple of prods once in a while to get technical support going."
"Initial setup was complex."
"Perhaps the CPU usage: When SYSVIEW is accessed via VTAM, the CPU usage is higher than compared to when its accessed via TSO using exactly the same commands, e.g., Display active tasks."
"If a unit of work ID is associated with a CICS, a DB2, and a MQ transaction, and having that capability correlate to those different technologies via one business application transaction which would be beneficial."
"The documentation, like installation guides and stuff, put it all in one place.​"
"The screen layout could be updated and be more modern looking. The product has a 1980’s interface and it seems no investment whatsoever has been made in this respect."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Pricing is a little steep, but there are a lot of other functions that it brings together. It gives you one window to look through to get to a lot of different features. The more products you have from CA, the better pricing they have, the more you can get them doing more things for you."
