The service level and automated capacity manager functions allow us to control priorities, support SLA's and manage our 4HRA and reduce MLC for some software bills.
There currently is a WUI that allows an operator a single pane of glass to see how TM is performing to meet service policies within a JESMAS environment. This is a new feature and multiple individuals have expressed desire to not only see real time monitoring, but the ability to historically go back at least several hours or possibly an entire day to review history.

It automates responses, preventing issues from becoming more severe
I just installed version 12.3, which actually already has a number of new features. It's going to make it easier for some of our new users. I'm old-school, I learned it the old way. I actually want to go back and implement it and start doing things the new way. As I need to train people, it's going to make it easier for them and make the learning curve much shorter. The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product. It was old-school. The learning curve was a little bit long in the beginning, but it's really come a long way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enabled me to solve production problems faster or even avoid them preemptively with warnings."
"The integration of IMS commands is very useful, because you do not have to switch to another tool to problem solve solutions."
"It's a very stable product. I very much like the SSM stuff in it. The rules engine, it's awesome."
"It reduces the number of repetitive motions required by a human to respond to the system."
"It's very secure, because it's a legacy application."
"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."
"It's very flexible. You can customize what you need to, which is good. For example, you can do your own coding inside the tool, make your own scripting tooling."
"It alerts the operators when it is time to repair the communications and the IPLs."
"Because we can define complex commands, the training of new operators is quicker. We can also put checks in place, that will prevent user errors."
"​The service has been wonderful. I like the people that I have had to deal with. The process is very straightforward. I call or use the website."

Cons

"An expansion for distributed systems would be great, but probably not workable."
"More visualisation and support for mobile devices would be good."
"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."
"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."
"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
"The GUI interface could be improved, but that is coming. They are working on that."
"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."
"Because of its age, it's a little bit difficult to modernize some of the integrations and some of the functions."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you already use other products from BMC, you might be able to get a package deal from BMC's sales department."
