Good stability but it is lacking the ability to see historical information

We can only see online information but there isn't any historical data to see something that happened a few hours previous. We don't have the ability to access that information. Previously, with MainView, we could look back at information from two days before and get information. We could easily get information from Plexus. Now, we don't have a single screen to check which has been annoying. Compared to MainView, Tivoli is rubbish. We are forced to use this solution. We couldn't stay with MainView. I would like for it to be easier to check the system performance. It should have the ability to see historical data. We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information.

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

"It's stable enough. I haven't noticed any problems since it was installed."

"Their technical support is incredible, immediately responsive, and even if it is not updated to Level 2 support sometimes, they chip in providing more detailed answers and options to fix the problem."

"It is an easy product to use and it is stable."

"It allows us to respond faster to issues. If there are issues that come out, we're able to capture a message and alert somebody about it."

"If something breaks and it goes down when it's not supposed to, automation brings it right back up."

"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."

"With the automation pieces we can bring this region up or take this region down, and it allows us to always meet our time critical requirements."

"Valuable features include: SSM, which provides for orderly startup and shutdown; OPSLOG, which enables filtering by message-id, and/or jobname(s); Rules, as OPS/REXX interface streamlines deployment, interfaces easily with JES2 and z/OS."

"I can and interrupt what's going on, bring a job down if I need to, and bring it back up."

Cons

"We can't see the percentages to see the percentages of the CPU utilized. We should be able to see how much was used by our part of the system. Now, we have to continuously recalculate that information."

"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."

"Scalability is zero. It cannot be scaled because of its age."

"It’s a complex product. The initial installation is easy, but implementing various functions is a constant process."

"It definitely needs more web-based interface, to be more mobile-open. More APIs, more open source to it."

"The reason sometimes it is not stable, we do not have the expertise to write the script."

"One thing that comes to mind is the MQ interface. The last time we tried to use it, it seemed a little clunky."

"The interfaces to USS, CA UIM could be better. CA Common Services interfaces - namely Zdata Mover, Zmessage Service, Zdatacolletcor - are poorly documented."

"The further expansion of the mainframe teamcenter interface. Also, the web services support is something that I am looking into."
