Customizable solution that provides the ability to ingest alerts from different systems
The price could be cheaper. That was one reason why we switched to PagerDuty. We wanted to switch to something that provided the same features but at a lower cost. We also switched because PagerDuty provided other features like integration with ServiceNow and the scheduling of engineers. Evanios was only for event integration. Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident. We received too many alerts and incidents from monitoring. It wasn't able to intelligently ingest alerts. It created 4,000 incident tickets in a month, which didn't reflect what was happening. If we received an alert, the synthetic monitoring and volume drop would give us the same alert. Evanios should include alert ingestion and de-duplication of alerts and noise reduction. We couldn't have people resolving each and every incident. PagerDuty gives us reports on how many alerts are being ingested, how many are noise, how many have bigger incidents, and which of the alerts are creating noise. It would be helpful if Evanios had metrics on the amount of alerts and types of the alerts to show which ones were serious incidents and which ones were just noise.

Automation has improved alerts and file handling but script-based setup still needs simplification
OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is the automation tool I use. I think OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence is good for creating complex rules because it's coding, but it takes time to learn how to use it. OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence works well if you know the syntax very well and you have experience in creating scripts or REXX syntax; it would be very good and is a good tool, but it takes time to learn, so that is for experienced staff to work with. I would rate the product a six from one to ten. I cannot think of any additional features in the next release of OPS_MVS Automation Intelligence.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Evanios has helped us reduce our incident count by about 60% in just three months into implementation and we are seeing great ROI right from the first month."
"Incredible ROI: As soon as we switched to Evanios, we started seeing events that were being unknowingly suppressed in our previous solution."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with various alert-generating systems because you might have synthetic alerts or monitoring alerts for volume drops."
"The ability to manipulate events via JavaScript getting the exact data that we want."
"Creation of incidents was previously a manual process with lots of copy and paste, swivel chair, mistakes, and missed events, and everything is now automated with events correlated and deduplicated, as well as crosschecks against scheduled change outages."
"Evanios has in some areas provided up to a 90% noise reduction in some our noisy monitoring tools."
"So far, the amount of IT hours to maintain and support has dropped dramatically."
"We really do need this product, we have the necessity now because we have implemented for so long that we can't function without this product."
"I do not have to keep recordings. It is there and is proactive. It helps the operators, human editors, and me."
"OPS/MVS is doing things more efficiently than a person would do; they may make mistakes; finger checks here."
"We went with the best automation solution available."
"When selecting a vendor, the most important thing is the ability to meet our needs, and CA does a very good job of that."
"It works, and as far as the scheduling piece, it is wonderfully well-written and I use it all the time."
"Once automatic IPL has been defined, anyone can perform an IPL with very little intervention. We know that all of the components will be started correctly."
"What I like about it personally is that I can go out and interrupt what's going on and bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."
 

Cons

"System information and status (easy to read for all levels of IT) Clearer instructions on setting up alert notifications to support staff in the event of an issue with product: There are some instructions on their support site but I'm looking for something a little more detailed to understand the flow of events (expected compared to unexpected)."
"Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident."
"There were initially some minor issues around domain separation in ServiceNow."
"We would like the ability to have an "exit" option for events when they are being processed."
"The price could be cheaper."
"More complex correlation rules would be nice. The ability to clearly define a parent event in a correlation and nested correlations, specifically."
"One of the things we've been wanting to do is to be able to automate off of different highlighted messages without actually knowing what the message is."
"The mainframe TSO side still displays green screens."
"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."
"The new release addressed some shortcomings of the product."
"It needs to have more compatibility/interfaces to other vendors’ products."
"I think, for me, I’d like to see more of its web base."
"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."
